Ingredients
-
1 ¼ Cups White Wine Vinegar
-
2 oz. OTSS Farmers Market Pickle Blend
-
1 oz. Coarse Sea Salt
-
8 Cups Pickling Cucumbers, cut into spears
-
½ Cup Chopped Fresh Dill
-
¼ Cup Finely Chopped Garlic
Directions
In a 2-3 quart non-reactive sauce pan bring the vinegar, spices, salt and 3 ¼ cups water to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the salt dissolves. Simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes to meld flavors. Let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
Pack cucumbers, dill and garlic into two 1-quart jars or other sealable non-reactive containers.
Cover the vegetables with the liquid. Let sit uncovered, at room temperature for 2 hours to pickle the cucumbers.
Serve or refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.
You can use other vegetable besides cucumbers. Sliced peppers, asparagus, blanched carrots or green beans all work well.
