Pickled

Many of the summer and winter’s crisp vegetables will pickle very nicely. There is always a good supply available at supermarkets and greengrocers. In summer, visit your own garden or local farmer’s market for the freshest vegetables. Be sure to select really crisp, fresh vegetables and use them as soon as possible. Most of these pickles will need time in salt or brine to remove excess water so that the pickling solution can take its place, so plan accordingly.
