Can You Pickle Without Canning?
Yes, you can pickle without canning. Quick pickling, or refrigerator pickling, is a popular method of pickling that doesn’t require a canning process. Instead, vegetables or fruits are submerged in a vinegar and spice mixture and left to pickle in the refrigerator for a few days to a few weeks. The pickled food can be stored in the refrigerator for several months and enjoyed as a snack or condiment. This method is easy, relatively quick, and doesn’t require specialized equipment.
