• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt

1. Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and the flavoring variety of your choice in a medium nonreactive saucepan, and bring to a boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt, then remove from the heat. Divide the vegetables evenly between jars or containers.
