Root Vegetable Quick Pickles
 

Note: This recipe makes for some powerful, tangy pickles. If you prefer a milder mix, I’d recommend swapping in half water-half vinegar, and adding a touch of honey.
Ingredients
  • 1 quart jar w/ lid
  • 2 cups white distilled vinegar
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. black peppercorns
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp mustard seed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 lb of root carrots, beauty heart radishes, turnips, etc, thinly sliced (use a mandolin for best results)

Instructions
  1. Combine first six ingredients in a pot, and bring to a boil.
  2. Once it boils, dump in vegetables. Turn off the heat, so the vegetables stay crisp.
  3. Ladle immediately into your clean canning jar. Cover with lid.
  4. Let them sit in the fridge for at least three days before opening, and up to three weeks.
  5. Once opened, enjoy the pickles soon while they’re still fresh.
