Thses quick pickles are a great staple for any fridge. They are a great snack straight out the jar, a nice quick side salad (no need for dressing, just mix your favourite veg pickles together) or as an accompaniment to sushi. The possibilities are endless!
I will give you the recipe I used for this lot but it is just a guideline as everytime I make them I use a different spice mix, vinegar or sugar. So feel free to change it up depending on your favourite ingredients or whats in your cupboard.
2 cup of distilled vinegar (rice wine vinegar gives a lovely flavour too)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 stick of cinnamon
2 tsp yellow mustard seeds
3 cloves
1 birds eye chilli (split in half)
Put all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Leave to cool for an hour then strain an pour into sterilised jars fill with slices if your favourite fresh vegetables.
This week I used fresh organic baby carrots, kohlrabi and turnip.
Other veg I love with this recipe are red onion, ginger, radish, cabbage, cucumber, fennel, horseradish and celeriac just to name a few.
Have fun and enjoy experimenting :)
