My husband Dror is responsible for this recipe - he is the “pickle chef” (I just helped him cut). The amounts of water, canned lemon juice, turmeric, vinegar and salt can be varied based on the size of the jar and based on the amounts of vegetables you choose to use (meaning that if you compress more vegetables in a dish, less liquid will be needed and vice versa). The pickles can be refrigerated for 2- 3 months.
