Basic Pickling Brine

Directions

1. Add the salt to boiling water until it dissolves.
2. Let it cool and then add the vinegar to the salt water.
3. That’s it!
4. You may add ¼ cup of your favorite herbs or spices. Some folks like a teaspoon of sugar. Put your vegetables in a quart canning jar with or without a clove of garlic and cover them with the brine. Store them in a cool dark place. Wait 4-6 weeks and then enjoy them on a sandwich or as a snack. Pickled veggies usually stay fresh for about a year.
