Wash hands before handling ingredients.

Rinse strawberries and lay them out on a clean cookie sheet with a towel to dry.

Cut off the tops of the strawberries and slice them into quarters.

Fill the jar with strawberries, leaving a half-inch gap from the top.

Slice two pieces of ginger, leaving the skin on for flavoring.

In a small pot, add the ginger slices, water, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and a pinch of salt.

Turn on the heat and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking to dissolve the sugar.

Once boiling, turn off the heat and prepare to pour the liquid into the jar.

Pour the pickling liquid over the strawberries, ensuring they are fully submerged.

Seal the jar tightly and store it in the refrigerator.

Wait at least one day before consuming for the best flavor, but it can be kept for up to a month.
