When I pickle, I usually do several things at once, because pickling five things is barely any more difficult than pickling one thing. My most common items are cucumbers (obviously), shallots, jalapenos, cabbage, and beets. In the cucumber pickle brine, I typically toss in a couple habaneros. I haven't tried simple salt pickling; always with apple cider vinegar. I'd like to try someday, however.

Have you tried pickling red onions with red wine vinegar? Add in some bay leaves and crushed red pepper for taste and they come out amazing. And speaking of jalapenos, we recently bought some jalapeno jelly at a farmer's market and now we're tempted to try making that too. It might go great with home made bread.
