小贴士 Tips

When making pickles, it’s best to use proper pickling weights (a glass weight) to press the vegetables down into the brine. If you don’t have them, just be sure to check regularly, or press the vegetables down after serving, to make sure they stay fully submerged. This helps prevent mold from developing.
