Preserving: Quick Pickling

Go beyond the cucumber!

Quick pickles, also known as refrigerator pickles, are simply vegetables that are pickled in a brine and stored in the refrigerator. This method of pickling keeps your pickles crisp, and even better, almost everything in the garden can be preserved using this fast and flavorful method.

Quick pickles are a delicious addition to salads, on sandwiches or on their own for a crunchy snack. We’ll enjoy some premade pickles in class, and you will bring home a couple jars to enjoy at home.
