I like immediate gratification as much as the next gal, but when you’re talking about pickling you’re usually looking down the barrel of a good long wait. While I appreciate the fermentation process, sometimes I just want a zesty, herb-y, crunchy pickle without all the fuss. These quick pickles are fantastic because they brine quickly and are CRAZY crunchy because they are never heated. These crisp beauties are the result of another beautiful collaboration with food stylist and recipe developer Skylar The Food Artist.
Throw a couple jars of these pickles in your fridge tonight and enjoy a fresh crunch tomorrow (they’re even better the day after that!).
…and some pretty little ingredients left behind after we DEVOURED all the pickles…
