Pickling Recipes
If you’ve never made a pickle before, cucumbers are the classic place to start, but I’d encourage you. Go beyond the cucumber!
Many vegetables can be pickled too. All you need is a water bath canner and a tested recipe. Don’t assume you can swap one vegetable for another in a tested recipe. They all have their own requirements.

Pickling recipes use a water bath, not a pressure canner, even though plain vegetables need pressure canning. Why is that? It’s all about the acid the vinegar adds to the jar.
