Not your traditional pickle. It will provide a crisp bite to any sandwich…or just a quick snack.

Pickles can be a great addition to any meal or even a simple snack. Add them to a burger, a fried chicken sandwich, a cuban, a turkey sandwich….I love the texture and the zing that they add. Then again, if I am sitting there, looking in the fridge, unsure of what to have, I’ll usually just grab a pickle. The flavor doesn’t matter to me; it could be bread & butter pickles, dill, cornichons, they are all delicious. Unfortunately, all of these contain garlic, onion, or some flavor that I just can’t have. It’s time for homemade pickles. The beauty with these is that you can play around with the seasonings/herbs to create your favorite flavor. Whether you have food allergies or not, these are quick, easy and delicious.

Serve it with:

• Cuban Sandwich
• Stuffed Gouda Burger
• Turkey Sandwich

What you need:

• Pot
• Air Tight Container (Mason Jar)
• Kosher Salt
• Peppercorns
• Table Sugar
• Distilled White Vinegar
• Water
• Fresh Rosemary, Thyme, Tarragon, Oregano, etc.

Quick and easy. Pour your water, sugar and vinegar into a small pot and heat on low until the sugar dissolves, this should be about 1-3 minutes. Take mixture off the heat and add your peppercorns and herbs. I usually look at what I have from the garden or what the store has in stock: thyme, tarragon, rosemary, oregano, etc.

Slice your cucumbers to your desired thickness. I personally do about half thin and half thick, that way I have a variety depending on how I am using them. Pour the mixture over your sliced cucumbers into your airtight container. Let the cucumber mixture come to room temperature. Either serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
