3 small fennel bulbs
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 small orange, sliced
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 C. apple cider vinegar

Wash fennel bulbs and remove stems. Slice in half and cut out the hard core. Slice paper-thin on a mandoline. Sprinkle kosher salt over shaved fennel and toss to combine. Let fennel sit for at least an hour. When time is up, pour fennel into a colander and squeeze to remove the liquid that was produced while it sat with the salt. Return fennel to the bowl and toss with orange slices and black pepper. ack fennel and orange into a quart jar and top with the apple cider vinegar. Use a chopstick or the end of a wooden spoon to work the vinegar down into the fennel. Stash jar in the fridge and let sit for at least 24 hours before eating. This quick pickle will keep at least 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.
