Homemade Pickles

It all started when I had a bunch of vegetables that were on their last legs. I am pretty hung up on food waste, and therefore they had to be saved! I found this recipe in Alison Roman’s Dining In—I did the Basic Salt and Pepper Brine, and have been addicted ever since my first jar. Anytime I see vegetables that are past their prime, I promptly get to pickling—adding garlic, green onion stalks, herbs. Each batch tastes different, and they are just so pretty.
