3 cups apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
2 tablespoons fresh dill

What you do:

  1. In a medium saucepan, add apple cider vinegar, peppercorns, dill, salt, stevia, and water. Bring to a boil. 
  2. Fill three to four mason jars with prepared vegetables. Pour enough liquid mixture into each jar to cover vegetables completely. Let cool to room temperature before sealing jars.
