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.

Serves 6-8

Method

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