This recipe for Homemade Pickles is a bit spicy, salty, garlicky and just plain crunchy awesomeness!  Open up the description below for more information.  These are a sour pickle but not real sour, just perfect.
Ingredients:
1 cup everyday white vinegar
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 inch piece of ginger root chopped fine (or more)
1 small shallot chopped fine
2 small green onions chopped small (scallions)
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt -(OR)-
3/4 teaspoon table salt or canning salt (finely ground salt)
3 small pickling cucumbers

Mix up all your brine ingredients, don't forget the salt like I did.
Then add your sliced cucumbers and refrigerate at least one hour, but much better overnight and even a week later is better.

Good for two weeks kept in the refrigerator.

This makes just a bit over a pint of pickles, so that is why I started in a quart jar.  You can use anything to store them and make them.  You do not have to use a canning jar.  Again this makes just over 2 cups of pickles.

You have to make these!  You will be happy you did.

Would you like me to show you how I make sweet relish?
I am thinking I might show you how I do it.
It is NOT the FDA approved way to do it, so I am not responsible or liable for any death or sickness.  It would be at your own risk If I show you how to make Sweet Relish.  I can it every two years and I am out of it and need to make it.

Thank you for watching!
