Pickle making is an art . If you want to make large quantity of yearly stock then you have to be particular about so many things to make a perfect pickle SO it can last an whole year. It start with selecting the right vegetable,washing and wiping it well to remove all the moisture .A slight moisture can ruin the pickle. Then the selection and roasting or sun drying the spices to remove the moisture is also important .
The quantity of salt to be added in the pickle is the most important factor , as too much and too less salt both can effect the shelf life ,the taste and texture of the pickle.
