Ingredients:
🌱1 clean mason jar (we used 500ml jar)

🌱½ cup vinegar
🌱½ cup water
🌱1 ½ tbsp salt
🌱1 tbsp sugar
🌱3 garlic cloves
🌱½ tsp mustard
🌱¼ tsp chili flakes
🌱A few sprigs of dills
Method:
🌱Combine vinegar, salt and sugar in a stainless steel saucepan on medium heat. Whisk until dissolved, refrigerate until ready to use.
🌱Wash vegetables and cut to fit inside your jar
🌱Add to your clean jar.
🌱Peel garlic cloves and cut in half, then add to your jar.
🌱Add spices of choice, I add mustard seeds, chili flakes and a few sprigs of dill.
🌱Add ½ cup of vinegar mixture and ½ cup of water (if using a different size jar, fill halfway with vinegar mixture and top with water until veggies are fully covered).
🌱Screw lid on tightly, shake the jar to mix everything together and refrigerate for 24 hours before consuming. Store up to 1 month in the fridge!
