Ingredients You'll Need
The Main Ingredient: Cucumbers
The star of this recipe is of course, the cucumber. When pickling cucumbers, it's important to choose ones that are firm and free of blemishes. You can find pickling cucumbers at your local farmer's market or grocery store. However, if you can't find pickling cucumbers, regular cucumbers can also work.
The Flavor Enhancers
To give your pickles that signature tangy and slightly spicy flavor, you'll need some garlic cloves, dill seed, and mustard seeds. You can also add other spices like black peppercorns, red pepper flakes, or even fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to customize the flavor to your liking.
The Pickling Liquid
The key to making delicious pickles is the pickling liquid. For this recipe, we'll be using a mixture of vinegar, water, and salt. You can use either white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, depending on your preference.
Instructions
Pickle Prep
Start by washing and drying your cucumbers. Then, using a sharp knife, slice them into 1/4 inch rounds. If you're using regular cucumbers, you may want to peel them before slicing.
Jar Prep
Next, prepare your jars by sterilizing them in boiling water for a few minutes. This step is crucial to ensure your pickles stay fresh and safe to eat.
Make the Pickling Liquid
In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the salt is dissolved.
Time to Pickle
Once your jars are sterilized and the pickling liquid is ready, it's time to assemble your pickles. Start by layering the sliced cucumbers, garlic, dill seed, and mustard seeds in the jars. Then, carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the cucumbers, making sure they are completely submerged.
Seal and Store
Seal the jars tightly and store them in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before enjoying. The longer the pickles sit, the more flavorful they will become. These pickles can last for up to a month in the fridge, but we doubt they'll last that long once your friends and family get a taste of them.
Now that you know how to make your own green holiday pickles, you can impress your loved ones with this delicious and unique addition to your holiday spread. So go ahead and gather your ingredients and get pickling!
