Because why not? It’s a great quarantine activity, only takes 24 hours, and at the end, you have the most delicious pickles you have tasted in your life.
Seriously! They’re that good–and very simple!
First of all, these are the ingredients I used:
- Small cucumbers, quartered
- Pickling salt–2 heaping tablespoons
- Pickling spices (I just bought a package of them already mixed. Easier than trying to recreate it.)–2 heaping tablespoons
- Hot pepper flakes–just a pinch
- White sugar–1 teaspoon
- 5 or 6 garlic cloves smashed
- Lemon juice–1 cup
- Water–1 cup
So first of all, I put everything into a small pot, stirred it up, and put it on the heat. Once it started to boil, I took it off the heat and let it cool down. This is the brine.
Then I put the brine over the quartered cucumbers, sealed it in a Tupperware container and stuck it in the fridge for 24 hours.
And here they are finished! DELICIOUS! Tasty, garlicky, and just so good.
So this is what I’m up to, getting back to some simpler cooking, and writing the books you love. 🙂
Don’t forget my new Amish release!
