Refrigerator Vegetables
We enjoy these pickled vegetables as garnishes or complementary sides for nearly every dish we make. Our refrigerator is always stocked with several jars.
1 cup water
3 cups white vinegar
½ cup honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon salt
Vegetables of choice
Prepare vegetables as desired and tightly pack into 3 (16 ounce) glass jars. If desired, add seasonings layered between the vegetables.
Add remaining ingredients to a sauce pan and bring to a boil while stirring.
Cut the heat. Pour pickling liquid over vegetables until completely covered (may not need all of the liquid depending on the size of vegetables and how tightly packed they are).
Let jars cool to room temperature, seal with a lid, and transfer to refrigerator. Let pickle for at least 1 hour.
Notes: Our preferred variation is sweetening with maple syrup and pickling vegetables, such as red onion, cucumber, banana peppers, jalepeño, and cabbage. We typically don't add extra seasonings, but that could include fresh herbs, garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, etc. You can sub white vinegar for apple cider vinegar if you don't mind the strong flavor. I pour the pickling liquid over the vegetables in the sink to avoid a mess. I love using weck jars.
