When we hear the word pickle, we tend to think of the traditional cucumber pickle, and we forget that pickle is actually a magical verb we can wield in the comfort of our own kitchens.
Pickling is a fantastic way to not only preserve fresh food, but to also make it even tastier. Pickled foods often also liven up other dishes, adding a little tang from the natural process of fermentation, and sometimes even adding health benefits. Though most of us don't have time for the full pickling process, it is still possible to quickly pickle a variety of vegetables, fruits, and even proteins in your fridge.
