"You need only a day to snap to attention and enjoy the the bright flavor of these compulsively snackable pea pods! Pickled peas will keep for several months."
1Combine vinegar, salt, and sugar in a non-reactive saucepan over low heat; stir until salt and sugar are dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in water. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
2Place sugar snap peas, tarragon, garlic, lemon zest, dill seed, and red pepper flakes in a 1-quart Mason jar. Pour vinegar mixture into the jar.
3Cover jar and refrigerate until peas are lightly pickled, at least 1 day and up to 2 weeks.

Cook's Note:
Be sure to trim the ends off the pea pods to allow a full immersion of the brine.
