Delicious Pickled Veggies - July 2019

I recently bought some pickles to add to hamburgers. When they were finished I was left with a lot of yummy pickling liquid. It seemed such a waste to throw it out so I added some chopped up carrots and zucchinis that needed to be used up. I left them in the fridge for a couple of days then tried them - delicious! I used raw vegetables because I like the crunch but think using parboiled veggies would also work well if you prefer them softer.

Note: Just make sure your brine is clean - no floaties from spoons or forks - before you add extra veg. And if the brine goes cloudy or develops a skin, don't use it. Otherwise, I've done the same thing and Fiona is right, they are delicious, especially on a cheese board.  Cath
