Lettuce, you're about to be pickled.

First, cut the lettuce into roughly 1-inch pieces.

Then transfer it to a large bowl. The bigger the better -- you'll be tossing quite a bit.

Add dried berries, and a bit of garlic for bite.

In goes the dill.

Now toss! Tongs are great, but your hands will work just fine.

This will be the pickling liquid -- start with warm water.

Then add vinegar.

Salt and sugar tumble in.

It's not a good pickle without some spice. Add that, too.

Whisk until everything happily dissolves together.

Pour all of this goodness over the lettuce.

And then transfer to a bowl -- don't be afraid to pack tightly!

Fit something (anything) with a slightly smaller diameter inside of the container. It will rest on top of the lettuce and apply pressure.

For a little extra help, add something heavy. (We can't do all the work, right?)

After 2 hours, you'll have this! Put it in a pretty dish, or eat it straight from the jar, like we did.
