Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 cups water (brine liquid will be evenly split between two large jars)
  • 1 1/2 cups white vinegar
  • 1 1/2 ounces pickling salt
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic (chopped, 3 cloves per jar)
  • 4 sprigs fresh dill (2 per jar)
  • 1/2 tsp dill seed ((1/4 per jar))
  • 2 tsps mustard seed (1 tsp per jar )
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (1/4 tsp per jar )

Instruction

  • Sanitize two large mason jars, dry and set aside.
  • Ventilate the house before the next step because vinegar boiling stinks.
  • In a medium stockpot, add water, vinegar, and salt.
  • Bring mixture to a boil.
  • Allow liquid to cool until room temperature.
  • Wash, dry, and slice or coin 4 pickling cucumbers.
  • Add cucumbers to the jars.
  • Fill both jars with even amounts of garlic, dill, mustard seeds, pepper, and dill seed.
  • Fill jars with cooled liquid, cap, and place in fridge for at least 1 week, but really, 2 weeks will provide the BEST results possible!
