It's that time of year! Fresh produce is all around us. We tried these quick pickles from A SPICY PERSPECTIVE and they were the perfect crunch for summer. Enjoy!
Homemade Pickle Ingredients
3 pickling cucumbers, each about 4 inches in length, sliced evenly
1/4 cup Vidalia onion, sliced
3-5 sprigs fresh dill weed
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 teaspoons pickling salt, or kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar (we use stevia or swerve for the WL phase)
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon whole yellow mustard seeds
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Pack a clean pint-sized jar with sliced cucumbers, onion slices, and dill sprigs. Leave a 1/2 inch of space at the top of the jar for liquid.
2. In a small pot heat the vinegar, water, garlic, and all spices until the mixture comes to a simmer and salt dissolves.
3. Cool the brine down to warm and fill the jar so everything is covered with brine.
