Pickles

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Choose your vegetables or fruits for pickling.

  2. If using vegetables, prepare them without cooking.

  3. For fruits like peaches or pears, cook or heat them first.

  4. Place the prepared produce in wooden pails, stoneware pots, kegs, or wide-mouthed bottles.

  5. Pour vinegar over the produce, adding spices if desired.

  6. Seal the containers; they do not need to be air-tight.
