Homemade Dill Pickles. So easy to make, only a few ingredients and you're done.
Ingredients
1½lbs (680gr) Small Cucumbers (the smaller the better)
2 Carrots – Cut into thick slices
9 Garlic Cloves
10 Dill Sprigs
1 Liter Boiling Hot Water
¾ tbsp Sugar
2 tbsp Cider Vinegar
2 tbsp Salt (regular)
Instructions
Prepare a clean, large glass jar with lid
Wash the cucumbers and carrots well
Peel the garlic cloves
Place the cucumbers, carrots and garlic in the jar. Make sure you spread them so that you have a few cucumbers topped with a few pieces of carrot and a couple of garlic cloves in between. You do not want to have a separate layer of each.
Place a sprig of dill in between as well; randomly.
In a large bowl mix boiling hot water with the sugar, salt and vinegar and gently start pouring the mix into the glass jar until it is topped up.
Seal jar with its lid and place if possible in a bright place on your kitchen counter (brighter places are better)
Turn the jar upside down once a day to give everything a light stir
The pickles will be ready after 5 days. Give them a taste and if you like them saltier let them stand a bit more.
Once pickles are ready, keep them in the fridge (this will slow down/ stop the pickling)
Notes
**Very important to make sure the jar is clean
