Easy Cukes - Homemade Pickles Recipe
Ingredients:
- 9 cups sliced cucumbers (English)
- 1 cup onion (sliced)
- 1 cup green pepper (diced)
- 3/4 cup raw sugar
- 3 tbs sea salt
- 3 cups white vinegar
- 1 1/3 tsp each of Tumeric, Mustard seed & Celery seed
- Optional: red onion diced
- Fresh chives, parsley, thyme or anything in your garden or fridge!
Directions:
- Mix all ingredients in a glass bowl
- Soak overnight in a bowl (covered)
- Stir gently a few times while in the fridge
- Strain the juice 2X to get juice clear
- Straining helps remove loose seeds
- Pack into mason jars adding in clear juice
- Keep refrigerated
Notes:
- This recipe is very forgiving so have a little fun with it; sometimes I use red onion, an Italian gree pepper or garlic
- Make sure all cukes are covered in juice when packing into the jars to minimize bacteria
