Cheap & Easy BBQ Pickles
Quick pickles are the unsung hero of BBQ. They cut through the richness of smoked meat and add a pop of flavour that takes your plate to the next level. The best part? These take about 5 minutes to make and they're ready to eat the next day. Once you start making your own, you'll always have a jar in the fridge.

- Slice your cucumbers or vegetables to your preferred thickness.
- Pack them tightly into clean glass jars.
- In a saucepan, combine equal parts water and white vinegar with sugar and salt.
- Heat until the sugar and salt dissolve completely.
- Add any spices you like - dill, garlic, peppercorns, or chilli flakes work well.
- Pour the hot brine over the vegetables, making sure they're fully submerged.
- Seal the jars and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before eating - they'll keep for several weeks.
