    GET INTO A PICKLE

    This year, many of us have been growing veg. Now’s the time to make sure they don’t go to waste, and pickling is one of the simplest ways to preserve veg. Some need salting or brining first to stay firm and relatively crisp, while others need to be cooked. All these recipes will keep for several months in a cool, dark place.

    BRINED PICKLES

    This is a solution of salt and water, which you use to soak the veg in overnight. It draws out excess moisture from veg making them crisp and better to store.
