PICKLES

Ingredients:
* 1/3 cup (80 ml) vinegar
* 1 liter drinking water
* 2.5 tablespoons of sea or rock salt
* Juice of half a lemon
* Chickpeas or sourdough bread
* Garlic
* Grape or bay leaves

Instructions:
* The ideal ratio for pickling is for 1 liter of water, 1/3 cup of vinegar, and 2.5-3 tablespoons of sea or rock salt. You can increase the salt to 3 tablespoons if you prefer a saltier taste. For a lemony flavor, add the juice of half a lemon to this mixture.
* Wash and dry the vegetables you plan to pickle. Discard any rotting or soft parts, as they can spoil the entire batch.
* Cut the vegetables into roughly equal sizes for even fermentation.
* Sterilize clean jars by dipping them in boiling water and then drying them in a hot oven. Fill the jars with the prepared vegetables, pressing them down to maximize space utilization.
* Pour the vinegar-water-salt mixture over the vegetables in the jars.
* To speed up fermentation, you can place 2 chickpeas or a piece of sourdough bread inside the jar. This is the basic recipe, but you can customize the flavor by adding ingredients like lemon juice, garlic, dill, coriander seeds, celery, and so on. We recommend adding 2-5 cloves of garlic to each jar.
* Tannins in grape or bay leaves can prevent the pickles from becoming too soft and help keep air out. Therefore, cover the top of the jars with leaves before sealing them, and ensure the pickle juice covers the leaves.
* Store the jars in a dark, cool place or in the refrigerator. The pickles will be ready in approximately 3 weeks and can be stored for up to a year.
