It’s the key to achieving that authentic Middle Eastern flavor, giving your pickles a unique, aromatic depth that’s bursting with Mediterranean spices. Not only does it enhance the flavor, but thanks to the turmeric in the blend, it also gives the pickles their beautiful bright yellow color, adding both visual appeal and a boost of health benefits.

Brine:
1 cup Vinegar (white wine, apple cider, or regular)
3 cups water
1 Tbsp Kosher salt (or any salt)
1-2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp IN A PICKLE spice blend, OR turmeric with 1/2 tsp peppercorns
Directions
1. Prep your jars: clean with warm soapy water, place in a clean sink and carefully pour boiling water to the top.
2. Prep your veggies and place them tightly in the jar, mixing and alternating between the vegetables. Make sure you leave about 1 inch of room at the top to cover with your brine.
3. Place all brine ingredients in a small pot, and bring to boil on medium-high heat while stirring.
4. Once boiling, very carefully pour the brine in the jars, until vegetables are fully covered. Make sure to protect your counters since hot turmeric can stain everything. Either do it in the sink, or over a baking sheet.
5. Keep the jars open and let them cool for about 20 minutes. Once cool to touch, close the jars tightly and place in the fridge. Your pickles will be ready in 24-48 hours!
