Pickles

Worth1 · June 1, 2015

2 cups water 2 cups 5% vinegar 1/2 to 1cup pickling salt 1/8 cup sugar and too many dried hot peppers.
Put in kettle and bring to boil.
Pack cucumber spears in jar with hot peppers from the brine and a teaspoon of garlic powder in each pint jar.
Pour hot brine over cucumbers and put the lids and rings on and let seal.

These things keep great in the fridge or outside.
And they are very crispy.
I dont hot water bath them because it ruins them.
Your choice I keep mine in the fridge.
But have no problem letting one stay out.
It is simple easy and no matter how much you make just remember the ratio not the amount.
