Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Sugar
- 3 cups Distilled white vinegar
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 2 cups of sugar, and 3 cups of distilled white vinegar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the sugar is dissolved and the solution is clear, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before using. This usually takes 10-15 minutes.
Transfer the Swedish 1-2-3 Vinegar to a clean glass jar or bottle. Seal tightly with a lid.
Use the vinegar solution as a base for quick pickling vegetables. To pickle, simply pour the cooled vinegar mixture over sliced or chopped vegetables in a jar, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Refrigerate the pickled vegetables for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to develop. Quick-pickled vegetables can last for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
