Basic recipe: 2 cups water 1 cup vinegar (any vinegar works here) 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup kosher salt I also added bay leaves, coriander seeds, and mustard seeds. Try peppercorns, allspice berries, star anise, cumin seeds, garlic cloves… I find whole spices are best here. Bring brine to a boil. The pour over raw veggies in a clean mason jar. Label and store in the fridge, depending on what you are pickling the length of time it is good for in the fridge changes. Hearty veg like onions and carrots last longer than more delicate fruit. #alocalpalate #quickrecipe #eatlocalfirst #pnwfood #csabox #localveggies".
