Pickled celery recipe
Can you pickle celery? Yes! And it is fast and simple. While you might be familiar with popular pickled cucumbers, onions or a mixture of vegetables in mustard pickles, pickled celery is a less common but equally delicious recipe.
Pickling is a process that preserves fruit or vegetables by immersing them in a solution usually made of vinegar, salt and water, and sometimes sugar and other spices. Pickling extends the life of the produce and adds a whole lot of flavour, leaving you with a great addition to your next cheese platter or sandwich.
