We've been busy picking lots of veggies at our local CSA.
And also been busy making pickles. My kids love to help and love eating all kinds of pickled veggies. 2 cups water
1 cup white vinegar
3 tablespoons of salt
about 3 cloves of sliced garlic (more or less to your taste)
fresh dill, chopped
fresh chives, chopped
various jars
your veggies to be pickled, chopped as you like.
We do cucumber spears and slices. We've also enjoyed pickling pea pods and carrots. I've added some pepper flakes and other herbs in the past. It's fun to play around with different combinations. I really want to try cooked beets with a little sugar and mint....stay tuned for that.
Add your salt to the water vinegar mixture and mix until the salt dissolves.

Add your herbs and garlic.
Refrigerate for at least 24 hours and enjoy.
