Quick question: What exactly qualifies as a quick pickle? I've heard the term tossed around but I'm not quite sure what it entails. Any explanations or recipes to share? Thanks a bunch!

Usually, they soaked veggies in a vinegar-based solution with some salt and sugar for added flavor. They're perfect for when you want that tangy, crunchy goodness without waiting ages for it.

Quick pickles are veggies pickled in a simple brine, usually ready in just a few hours or overnight. I think they’re great for topping sandwiches and salads
