Pickling Solution

This spicy pickling solution can be used on a number of fruits and veggies to great effect.  The coriander is key in this recipe and adding the star anise gives it more depth and nuance.  Red pepper flakes are optional if you don’t have much of a palette for spicy flavors, or you can reduce it to 1 tbsp.

Bok choy, red bell peppers, and nectarines are among my favorite things to pickle.  The sky’s the limit with this recipe.
