Tips and Tricks

That said, when it comes to the vinegar and spices, don’t be afraid to get creative. You get to test out multiple flavors you enjoy.

Sugar or honey is also deliciously sweet, so if you like your pickles on the sweeter side, they will need it. Just don’t try to put too much of anything. A good rule of thumb is to add one tablespoon of the spices and vinegar for every cup of water. This will ensure the flavors are well-balanced.

You can pickle nearly anything you want: cucumbers, carrots, onions, even fruits such as apples and strawberries. Pickled veggies are not only an awesome snack, but they are also great on sandwiches, burgers, and salads. They’re a great way to add flavor to your meals.
