One my fave things to make in the summer. Great on a relish tray or antipasto plate…or as an instant side dish to anything grilled or barbecued.

Instructions
 

Prep

  • Mix 2/3 cups salt to 1/2 cup sugar. Add 2 tablespoons dried herbs.
  • Cut fresh veg into thin strips and set aside

Filling the Jars

  • In 2 large jars, place a spring or two of fresh dill, the peppers, and the garlic.
  • Mix the salt and sugar into your vegetables.
  • Pack jars full of veg. Sprinkle a bit more salt and sugar on top if you like.
  • fill jar with half rice wine vinegar and half white wine vinegar.
  • Secure lid tightly and shake.

Now the waiting

  • Leave jars on counter for up to three days to pickle. (Yes, it's fine to open them and check to see if they are cured to your liking - you can put the lid back on and it won't hurt anything.) After curing, place veg in refrigerator.

Notes

Pickled vegetables will hold in fridge for more than a month. The longer they cure, the more they become like the "glass pickles" served in some specialty delis.
