Assorted vegetables with plums for the winter - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use other types of peppers besides black and hot peppers?

Yes, you can substitute with other peppers according to your spice preference. Consider using milder peppers like bell peppers for less heat or adding a pinch of chili flakes for a different flavor profile.

How long will these assorted vegetables with plums last in storage?

When properly sealed and stored in a cool, dark place, these pickled vegetables can last for up to a year. Always check for signs of spoilage before consuming.

I don't have fresh plums. Can I use canned plums instead?

While fresh plums are recommended for the best flavor and texture, you can use canned plums. Make sure to drain them well and reduce the sugar in the marinade slightly, as canned plums are often packed in syrup.

Is it necessary to peel the tomatoes?

Peeling the tomatoes helps to achieve a smoother texture and prevents the skins from separating during the pickling process, but it is not strictly necessary. If you prefer, you can skip this step.

What can I serve with these pickled vegetables?

These assorted pickled vegetables make a great addition to cheese and charcuterie boards, can be served as a side dish with grilled meats or fish, or added to salads and sandwiches for a tangy kick.

Can I reduce the amount of sugar and salt in the marinade?

Yes, you can adjust the sugar and salt to your taste. However, be mindful that salt and sugar play a role in preserving the vegetables. Reducing them significantly might affect the shelf life.

Can I use a different type of acid instead of acetic acid?

While acetic acid (vinegar) is commonly used for pickling, you can substitute it with other acids such as citric acid or even lemon juice. Use caution to follow tested recipes and guidelines when pickling with these alternates and make sure the pH is appropriate for safe storage.
