I do the sweating in salt (not brine) when I make Bread & Butter Pickle. Leaving the veg. mix in salt for 24 hrs draws out the water, which keeps the crunch. The mix is rinsed very thoroughly several times and drained, before continuing with the pickling. The finished pickle is not salty.
It's a family favourite, and I make it every summer.
