  1. Pack the jar with vegetables

  2. Make the brine

    • Add the kosher salt and the white distilled vinegar to the jar.
    • For salt-only pickles, skip the vinegar and add an extra half tablespoon of salt.
    • Fill the rest of the jar with filtered water all the way to the top.
    Step 2
  3. Seal and shake

    • Seal the jar nice and tight.
    • Give it a good shake to dissolve the salt.

  4. Ferment on the counter

    • Leave the jar on the counter so the vegetables ferment.
    • After that, move the jar to the refrigerator to keep the pickles cold and crisp.
