Pickles, sliced.
Here is a quick easy way to make pickles at home. I had mine with hamburgers.
- Bring 1 cup of white vinegar to boil.
- Add salt and other seasons to taste. I used garlic powder, whoe black pepercorns and lots of dried dill. Its probably good to add some sugar, too.
- Stir vigorously.
- Take an English cucumber* and slice. I used a mandoline.
- Place the cucumber slices into the the boing vinegar.
- Boil for two minutes, then take off heat.
- Let cool**.
*I prefer the English cucumber because of its denser flesh.
** The pickles are probably good in the refridgerator for a day or two, though I recommend eating them shortly after preparation. The brine is also probably good for a few days in the fridge.
