Cornersmith Quick Pickle Recipe

 

“Use this recipe to make quick pickles from the odds and ends left in the fridge. Half an onion, a few radishes, a few sticks of celery, sliced carrots, beets or broccoli stems.

For a longer storage time (up to a month or more) increase the vinegar to one cup and add another tablespoon of sugar,” Alex Elliott-Howery, Co-Owner of Sydney’s Cornersmith cafe.

Method

 

Combine vinegar, hot water, sugar and salt into a jug. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved to make the brine.
