MAKE YOUR OWN PICKLES KIT RECIPES

Steps:

• 1. Cut or slice up the veg into fine or chunky pieces, depending on what you’re looking for. I quite like purposely cutting each veg differently – some diced, some into erratic chunks, some sliced delicately and some more thickly.
  2. Place all the veg in a sterilised airtight jar, add 125ml of water, along with the vinegar, salt, sugar and herbs and spices, if using. Close the lid and give it a good shake.
  3. Keep in the fridge for up to 8 weeks, or you can absolutely use it right away – it will start off tasting quite sharp and crunchy, then relax into itself over a period of a few weeks. This pickle is brilliant in sandwiches and salads, on a cheese board, or as a side to curries and stir-fries.

Steps:

• Place mustard seeds, allspice berries, whole coriander seeds, and red pepper flakes into a small glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake to combine. Add ground ginger to seeds and shake again. Sprinkle crumbled bay leaves over spice mixture and place cinnamon stick halves into the jar. Seal and shake to combine. Mixture can be stored in the tightly sealed jar for up to 1 month without loss of flavor.
