My late grandma used to make this jar with a variety of ingredients, and today it’s avocado—something I learned from my mom, who learned it from her. This recipe holds a special place in my heart Ingredients: - 2 ripe avocados, sliced - 1 cup water - 1/2 cup white vinegar - 1/4 cup lime juice - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tablespoon sugar - 1 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes - Fresh cilantro leaves (optional) Instructions: 1. Prepare the brine: - In a small saucepan, combine water, vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, garlic, and chili flakes. Bring to a gentle simmer until sugar dissolves. Let it cool completely. 2. Arrange the avocado slices: - Place avocado slices into a clean mason jar, layering with cilantro leaves if desired. 3. Pour the brine: - Pour the cooled brine over the avocados, ensuring they’re fully submerged. 4. Seal and refrigerate: - Close the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to let the flavors meld. 5. Serve: - Enjoy these tangy, flavorful pickled avocados as a topping or side dish. Prep Time: 15 minutes | Pickling Time: 2+ hours | Total Time: ~2 hours 15 minutes | Servings: 2 cups
