HOW TO PICKLE CUCUMBERS (QUICK METHOD)

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, garlic, water, salt, and honey if using.
• Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes, whisking occasionally.
• While waiting for the brine to cook, place the dill in the bottom of a quart-size jar.
• Add a few layers of cucumber slices. The cucumbers can be sliced as thick or as thin as desired, but the thinner they are the faster they'll pickle.
• Add a layer of onions (if using), then more cucumber slices, repeating until the jar is nearly full. Leave about ½ inch of head space at the top of the jar.
• Pour the brine over the pickles, put the lid on, and place it in the fridge. If you don't have enough liquid to cover the pickles, then add some more vinegar and water in equal amounts until you do.
• Wait at least 12 hours before eating the pickles (the longer you wait the more flavorful!).
• Tip: Since these are going to be kept in the fridge, a canning jar isn't necessary. Whatever heat safe lidded glass jar you have on hand that's big enough will work.

HOMEMADE PICKLING SPICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients to a small jar with a lid (one cup wide-mouth canning jar works great). Use your fingers to break the bay leaves into small pieces.
• Stir to combine.
• Add a lid and store until needed.

SPICED PICKLING VINEGAR

Steps:

• Add all of the spices into the bottle of vinegar (they should all fit but if not then feel free to pour away a small amount. The items in the ingredients list are simply my recommendations, you can add whatever you want into your vinegar (just make sure that they are whole, not ground).
• seal the lids back on tightly, store in the cupboard for around 3 months - or until they have infused enough for your tastes. Alternatively, for a much quicker process, place your bottle on the top rack of the dishwasher for one cycle (seems odd but really works, just make sure the lids are on tight!) then leave over night.
• strain off all of the spices and additions, then use your vinegar to make all kinds of pickles and chutneys.
