Step
72 hrs
Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. For the best flavor, allow the pickles to mature for 3 days. (Refrigeration: 24-72 hours)
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a few thin slices of ginger to the pickling brine.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as cucumber or red onion, for a colorful and diverse pickle mix.
Sterilizing the jar properly is crucial for preserving the pickles and preventing spoilage. Ensure the jar is thoroughly cleaned and boiled before use.
These pickles will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks, making them a convenient addition to your weekly meal prep.
