Q: “how do i make pickles?”

A: “it’s easy!”

Choose vegetables that are good to pickle, suchs as carrots, garlic, onions, turnips, radish, & daikon. I prefer cutting them into rounds. Place cut vegetables in a quart jar with a few peppercorns for flavor. Then in a separate jar make a brine solution with 1-quart water and 2 tablespoons REAL salt (not iodized table salt). Add the brine to the cut vegetables and seal the mixture tightly shut. Place the vegetables & brine in a dark place and check on the pickles everyday. It usually takes 4 days or so to get them tasty. Then store in the fridge. Simple!
