Easy Pickled Vegetables

2 English cucumbers sliced into rounds
2-3 bell peppers, mix of red, yellow, orange, slides into strips
1 red onion cut into half moons
1 Jalapeno sliced into rounds
3-4 cloves or garlic smashed
chilli flakes, peppercorns, coriander seeds

Add all the veggies and spices to a large mason jar

The brine is 1 cup of water
2 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 cup white vinegar
Combine the water, sugar and salt and slowly bring to a low simmer until dissolved
Note: I do not boil the vinegar, instead I add it to the boiling mixture. This prevents the smell of vinegar from overwhelming your home.

Pour the brine into the jar so that all the veggies are covered
Let it cool for about an hour then seal the jar and put it in the fridge overnight.
