Chard Stem Pickles

• 1 to 2 cups very thinly sliced chard stalks (slice less than 1/4 inch thick)
• 1/2 cup (135 grams) seasoned rice wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon (15 grams) sherry vinegar
• 1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
• 1 cup (230 grams) water
• 2 1/4 teaspoons (10 grams) kosher salt

1. Place the chard stalks in a jar or bowl.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rice wine vinegar, sherry vinegar and sugar.
3. Bring the water to a boil, remove from the heat and add to the vinegar and sugar mixture.
4. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
5. Add the salt and stir well.
6. Pour over the chard stalks, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 days before eating and for up to 2 weeks.
7. Shake the jar from time to time or, if you use a bowl, place a saucer on top of the chard stems to keep them submerged.
8. Remove from the brine with a slotted spoon to serve.
