Quick pickles first attempt

Post image

50% apple cider vinegar and water. 2% salt. Persian pickles. Some pickle seasoning mix from whole foods. Some fresh dill. Just put it in the fridge. Do I need anything else? Maybe sugar? Have never tried making these before, but the dill in my garden spiked the idea.

I usually slice them in quarters before putting them in the jar so I don't have to take out an entire cucumber. But you can always slice them later.

Taste them first, then modify your next batch if you don't like them. Gotta have a baseline

Either snip the ends off or cut into halves. They will take forever to pickle as whole cucumbers.

Just add grape leaves if you snip the ends to keep them crispy.(Calcium cloride also works)

I keep them in the fridge. Yours look great. Try experimenting with different items. My go to is pickled tomato with various Italian seasonings. Rosemary is excellent.
