Notes
- Even though you can pickle vegetables raw, I prefer blanching them to prolong the shelf life of the pickle.
- Don’t over cook the vegetables. Just blanch them for few minutes till it is slightly tender. Over cooking may result in mushy pickle.
- Make sure the canning jar you use is sterilized which helps preserve the pickle.
- It is a refrigerator pickle, so the pickling and storage happens in fridge.
- If you ever see moulds or odour from the pickle, discard it immediately.
