It's Pickle Time!!


It's alittle early, but we've got fresh cucumbers coming in, so we decide to make cucumbers!! Yum, yum! They're super salty, and garlicky- but if you like that sort of thing, here's how you do it...


1. Mix 2 quarts water with 1 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup salt and a 1/2 cup of sugar. Boil the mixture.


2. Place 1/2 a package of fresh dill in the bottom of a jar or sealable container.


3. Once mixture is boiling remove from heat and let cool.


4. Slice several cucumbers into spears - enough to fill your jar(s). Remove skin from 8 cloves of garlic.


5. Add cucumbers and garlic cloves to jars - don't worry you can really shove them in there.


6. Once mixture is cooled, add to jar(s), and top of with 2nd half of dill package.


7. Seal up, and should be ready to go the next day! The salt and sugar mixture brines the cucumbers, so they last forever!
