- Hello everyone!!
- Are you an amateur farmer with a garden bursting with an overabundance of cucumbers… or just someone who would love to make fresh pickles at home? Well I’ve got an amazing “Quick Pickle” recipe for you!
- Traditionally, pickling is a great way to preserve part of your summer harvest in a brine solution to enjoy much later in the year but these Quick Pickles are a bit simpler and are best enjoyed the next day (or up to a month).
- Here’s what you need…
- 1 pound Kirby cucumbers, sliced
- 2 tablespoons – plus 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon pickling spice
- 1 clove garlic
- A few sprigs dill
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Toss the sliced cucumbers with 2 tablespoons salt. Let chill for 1 hour. Rinse and drain. Combine the water, vinegar, pickling spice, 2 teaspoons salt, garlic, dill, and sugar. Stir to dissolve. Add cucumbers and refrigerate in airtight containers overnight (or up to 1 month).
Be good…
Chef Jason
