When making a brine specifically for the purpose of pickling, what is the ratio of water to acid by volume?
  1. 2:1
  2. 1:1
  3. 1:2
  4. 3:1
Explanation
Answer: A - When making a pickle marinade, balance of ingredients is important. There should be roughly twice the amount of water there is vinegar. So, for a recipe calling for 2 fl oz of apple cider vinegar, there should be 4 fl oz water. There should always be a good balance of acid, salt, sugar and additional seasonings in a proper pickle marinade.
