SWEET AND SPICY BEER PICKLES

Steps:

• To make these beer pickles, in a medium saucepan combine pale ale, water, vinegar, sugar and salt. Place over medium-high heat and stir occasionally to dissolve sugar. Bring to a simmer and then turn off heat. In a clean, large glass jar (or a multiple smaller jars) distribute cucumber slices, mustard seeds, garlic and chili flakes. Pour the pickling liquid over the cucumbers and spices, making sure that they are completely covered. At this point, if you're preserving the pickles, you'll seal them using a canning water bath and process for ten minutes. Preserved pickles can be kept in a cool dark place for up to six months. Refrigerate after opening. If not, seal the jar or jars and let rest in the refrigerator for at least two days before eating.
