13. Tips: Use a brand new band and lid for your jar each time.
14. Parboil (place in boiling water for about 1 minute) vegetables ahead of time to speed the pickling process, though they wont be as crunchy.
15. Theyll start getting tasty after 24 hours, but I let them go for at least a week before eating them.
16. Add slices of jalapeno for some heat.
17. Add a few teaspoons of curry and turmeric for an Indian flair.
18. The brine from pickled red beets is great for Bloody Marys.
