Ingredients
The following ingredients have 1 Servings
- 6 small pickling cucumbers
- 1 cup distilled white vinegar (use apple cider vinegar for more sweetness)
- 1 cup water
- 3 cloves garlic (lightly crushed)
- 1 tablespoon pickling salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 4 sprigs fresh dill weed
- 1-2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon spicy chili flakes (crushed red pepper)
- 1 hot pepper
Instruction
- Slice the cucumbers into ¼ inch slices and pack them into a cleaned pint-sized jar, leaving ½ inch of head space.
- Add the vinegar, water, garlic, salt, honey, peppercorns, dill and bay leaf to a large pan – along with the chili flakes and sliced hot peppers if you’re making a hot version.
- Bring the mixture to a quick boil, then remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Pour the brine into the jar over the cucumbers and cap tightly.
- Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors develop. They will develop even more as time goes by.
