With our gardens bursting and our farmers markets beckoning to us, this is a fun and simple way to enjoy something homemade and gut healthy. Overnight “quick” pickles are an easy and creative way to utilize fresh vegetables.
I made three jars- but was able to customize a brine that would compliment the whole batch that was even quicker! There is definitely a learning curve for brine, but you'll quickly figure out what you like.
Like I said this is so customizable so change out any spice/ herb /vegetable that you don’t like and have fun!
