Can I preserve veggies in fridge without salt and sugar?

[MRJ]

Hi im wondering if i can preserve some sliced jalapenos/cucumbers in the fridge without salt and sugar, can i just put them in a jar of vinegar? Almost like pickles but without the salt. How long will they last in the vinegar solution? Im trying to cut back on the salt/sugar i take in.

Thanks

Food Preservation Without Sugar or Salt

It doesn't appear you can completely not use salt and sugar, but, you can reduce it. You can consume it in moderate quantities. Hope that helps.
