Quick pickles done right: with cracked pepper, with real technique and a good rest.
Prep 20 min · Cook 23 min
Trim the quick pickles and slice or portion it evenly so it cures and dries at the same rate.
Mix the cure or brine, tossing to coat, and let it work in the cold for the full time.
Lay it out with room around each piece, or pack the jars tight and top with brine.
Dry low and slow, or let the pickles rest in the cold until sharp and crisp.
Store with cracked pepper in clean jars and keep them cold.
