Who loves pickles??
I am obsessed with pickles so obviously I found a way to make them myself. It was so easy so thought I would share with you how to make them if you are obsessed with pickles like I am.
Plus if you grow cucumbers, this is a great way to use them up. You can make a couple jars at a time and leave them in the fridge for weeks.
Recipe for pickles inspired by
-1 medium size cucumber
-1 tsp minced garlic
-1 tsp dill seeds (not dried dill w**d)
-1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
-1/4 tsp black peppercorn
-a sprig of fresh dill *optional
-1/2 cup white vinegar
-1/2 cup water
-3/4 tbsp salt
1. In a pint mason jar, add the garlic, dill seeds, red pepper flakes, peppercorns, and fresh dill, if you have it.
2. Peel and slice your cucumber. I recommend using a mandolin to get uniform thickness.
3. Put cucumbers in jar and fill without over stuffing jar.
4. Boil the water, vinegar and salt.
5. Pour boiling vinegar over the jar of cucumbers.
6. Screw lid on tight and leave on counter to cool off.
7. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before enjoying.
The jars, lids, and mandolin I use are linked in my amazon storefront under kitchen items in the link in my bio. I earn a small commission if you shop through my link.
