Pickeling Brine
Fermented foods are key to a healthy digestive system & that’s where our health begins. This brine can be used for many things. Yesterday I made pickled asparagus, zucchini and carrot sticks. Healthier side to a sandwich in place of chips. DD pickles ring bologna - get creative !
1.25 cups white distilled vinegar
1 cup water
6 garlic cloves (peel & crush)
3 T. sugar
2 T. kosher salt
Heat in small pan to dissolve sugar. Don’t boil. Arrange vegetables in quart jar, add 3 sprigs fresh dill & cover with warm brine. Let cool a bit then cover. Always keep in refrigerator. I use a tsp. Dill weed if I don’t have fresh dill.
