These are very fresh, fairly mild tasting, and have a crisp crunch. Great for small batches. This is my go-to recipe when I want to use up what came out of my garden but don’t want to be canning all night.

These can be eaten after just a few days but have better flavor if you can wait a week or two (I’m not great at waiting!). They’ll keep in the fridge for about 2 months and the flavor will continue to develop as they sit.
