Method:

1. Ensure all vegetables are thoroughly cleaned before beginning.
2. Bring liquid ingredients to boil in a saucepan.
3. Whilst waiting for the liquid to come to the boil, place vegetables in jar as tightly and aesthetically pleasing as possible, placing herbs and spices in and around.
4. Once liquid has come to the boil, gently and carefully pour into jars, use a funnel if safer.
5. Leave approx. 1cm space from the top before tightening lid.
6. Allow thorough cooling before refrigeration.
7. Pickles will be delicious after 12hrs, but will continue to get better, will last up to 4weeks in fridge.

Notes

1. Utilise your favourite herbs and spices paired with your favourite vegetables
2. Many sweeteners can be substituted for stevia/ monk fruit but all have different effects on the appearance of the liquid, level of sweetness and effect on your body. Honey is a great flavour but tends to make the liquid cloudy. Sugar has the most consistent results but destabilises blood sugars. Stevia seems to provide a happy medium – stable blood sugars, good colour, enjoyable sweetness.

Waste Tips

1. This is a good method for utilising plentiful, abundant and seasonal vegetables which are usually available at a cheaper price – bonus!
