Pickled to perfection

Quick-pickling season is upon us, and Sarson’s craft-brewed vinegar is ideal for preserving your garden’s summer fruit and veg

- 

Harvesting your own home-grown produce is one of the greatest joys of gardening. But if you get a glut of a particular fruit or vegetable that leaves you with too much to eat at once, pickling is one of the simplest ways to preserve it. Plus, it works with almost anything - from beetroots, onions and carrots to cabbages, cucumbers and courgettes.

Of course, vinegar is one of the most essential ingredients for pickling, and that’s where Sarson's comes in. As the UK's leading malt vinegar brand, it's been skilfully brewing vinegar the proper way since 1794. But what makes it so special?
