How Do You Can Pickles For Beginners?
To pickle vegetables for beginners, begin by preparing your brine solution using water, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Cut your vegetables into the desired shape and size and pack them into your jars along with spices, garlic, and herbs. Fill the jars with the brine solution, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Secure the lid tightly and store the jars in a cool, dark place for at least 24 hours. Once opened, refrigerate the pickle jars to extend their shelf life.
