White vinegar is made with fermented grains that have a mellow aroma with a tart acid flavour. Vinegar is a preservative that does not change the colour of light-coloured fruits and vegetables and is used as a flavouring agent.
White sugar is used are a preferred sweetener that does not mask any other pickling flavours. It adds a mellower flavour causing less of a “bite” to the pickled vegetables and fruits.
Salt in pickling recipes is another important ingredient, it is required for the safety of fermented pickles.
