Pick n Mix Pickle Plate

Prep 10 min
Pickling Time At least 1 hour or preferably overnight

This little selection is the perfect companion to my Jerusalem mixed grill (recipe on Substack), but don’t feel like you’ve got to make all of them. One variety is also great. Make a big batch, and you’ve got pickles to last you a while.
