Sweet & Tangy Homemade Cucumber Pickles

This was my first time making homemade pickles, as we grew a decent amount of cucumbers this year in our backyard garden! I looked through alot of recipes before I decided what I wanted to do and this is a combination of a few different recipes. Depending on what size jars you have, what size and how many pickles, and how flavorful you want them you may need to adjust the amounts accordingly. You can also reuse your brine for more pickling! 👏 #onerecipeonetree #mycookbook #pickles #diy #sweetpickles #pickledcucumbers #pickledtomatoes

Ingredient

Food ration :

24 servings

Cooking time :

30 mins

9 cups

pickling cucumbers (sliced into desired shapes)

2 cup

apple cider vinegar

2 cup

white vinegar

2 cup

water

large sweet onion

garlic cloves crushed or finely diced

1/4 cup

pickling spice

1/2 cup

sugar (white)

1/4 cup

brown sugar

2 tablespoons

mustard seed

1 teaspoon

celery seed

3 tablespoons

sea salt

1 teaspoon

whole peppercorns (about 8-10 for each jar)

bay leaves (2 for each jar)

cinnamon sticks (2 for each jar)

8-12 sprigs

fresh dill (2-3 for each jar)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Mix all dry ingredients (brown sugar, sea salt, sugar, pickling mix, mustard & celery seed) together thoroughly in a mixing bowl and mix the liquid ingredients (water, white vinegar, & apple cider vinegar) together in a separate bowl or pitcher. Leave aside bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, dill sprigs, peppercorns, garlic, and onion.

* Step 2

Now, Place your pickles in your jars, leaving an inch at the top, and layering the garlic and onions in between them. Then, place your bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, and dill along the sides of the jar and in any spaces in between that you can squeeze them. Once everything is snug in the jars, evenly distribute the dry seasoning mixture between all of the Mason jars. Next, mix and evenly distribute the liquid mixture to all of the jars. (may need to add additional vinegar to top off the jars)

* Step 3

Finally, shake up the jar well and place in the refrigerator to soak up the brine. Shake the jar every day or every other day to help evenly soak up the mixture. You can eat them after a week but after a month or more they are best! These were delicious! And you can tell which are the sweet ones by the pretty purple colors! 💜 Enjoy!
