refrigerator pickles

this is an easy recipe for quick-pickling.

cucumber - sliced thin

fennel - sliced thin

carrots - matchsticked

feel free to add different flavors and spices, but I usually just use:

1/2 cup vinegar (rice, apple cider, or white)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup warm water
about 1 cup sliced/matchsticked vegetables

dissolve sugar in warm water, add vinegar, add vegetable and store in the fridge for at least 24hrs and up to 1 week.

even quicker: if you just noticed the recipe calls for refrigerator pickles, try slicing super thin and using less water for soaking. they should be sufficiently pickle-y in about 30min.
