Quick easy way to make pickles without the canning process.

- 2 cups water
- 6 tbsp pickling or canning salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp pickling spice
- 7 1/2 tsp dill seeds or bunch of fresh
- 5 tsp mustard seed
- 1 1/4 tsp whole black peppercorns
- 5 garlic cloves cut in half
Instructions
- 1. Place cuke slices in a large glass or stainless steel bowl. Set aside.
- 2. In medium stainless steel saucepan, combine vinegar, water, pickling
- salt, sugar, and pickling spice. Bring to boil over med. heat, stirring
- to dissolve salt and sugar. Reduce heat, cover and boil gently for 10 min.
- 3. Pour pickling liquid over slices
- cukes. Cover with waxed paper and set aside until cooled to room temperature.
- 4. In each jar place 1 1/2 tsp dill, 1 tsp mustard seed, 1/4 tsp peppercorns and 2

- covering cukes, pack them in tight and cover completely. Put on lids and let
- marinate in refrigerator at least 2 weeks. Will last in refrigerator up to 6 months. Enjoy!
Notes
- I cut the cukes in spears but you could slice them any way you like.
