STEP 1: PREPARE THE JAR

Before diving into the pickling process, it's crucial to start with a clean and sterilised jar. Give your jar and lid a thorough wash with hot soapy water, rinse them well, and allow them to air dry. This ensures a hygienic environment for your pickles to develop their flavours.

STEP 2: CREATE THE BRINE

The secret to mouthwatering pickles lies in the brine. In a saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve completely. Let the brine simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together.

STEP 3: PACK AND POUR

Now comes the fun part—customising your pickles with spices and vegetables. Take your pick from a range of spices provided in the Cadeau Pickle Making Kit and add them to the jar. Let your creativity soar as you choose the perfect combination of flavours. Then, pack your favourite crunchy vegetables into the jar, ensuring they are fully submerged in the brine.

STEP 4: SEAL AND WAIT

Once your jar is filled with delicious vegetables and brine, it's time to seal the deal. Place the lid on tightly and refrigerate the jar. Allow your pickles to marinate at room temperature until they cool down, then move them to the fridge. After 24 hours of patient anticipation, your pickles will be ready to tantalise your taste buds.

STEP 5: SERVE AND ENJOY

Now that your pickles have reached their peak, it's time to savour the fruits of your labor. Grab your Cadeau pickle dish and pair your homemade pickles with your favourite cheese. The delightful combination of tangy, crisp pickles with cheese is a match made in pickle heaven.
