Pickling

SEE ALSO:  Fermentation  |  Preserves & Jam Making

Pickling is a time-honoured method of preserving fresh produce by using vinegar or other acidic brines to create tangy, savoury, or sweet flavours that develop over time. The acidity not only gives pickles their distinctive taste but also helps keep them safe and shelf-stable.

By making your own pickles at home, you can control the ingredients, reduce waste, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something delicious from fresh, local, seasonal produce — often at a fraction of the cost of store-bought.

Our pickling collection includes high-quality jars, mandolines, spice blends, and other essential tools to make the process easy and enjoyable.

Because vinegar can react with metal, it’s best to use jars designed for acidic preserves that have glass lids or non-metal sealing surfaces. We stock trusted brands such as Kilner, and Weck, renowned for their durable, acid-safe preserving jars.

Whether you’re just starting out or perfecting your pickling skills, you’ll also find a selection of books packed with recipes, techniques, and inspiration to help you craft crisp, flavourful pickles year-round.
