Product Information

Flexible and affordable. Don’t have mustard seeds or fresh dill? You can swap out spices very easily. Make the brine more sour, sweet, spicy, or aromatic with simple adjustments. No special ingredients are needed. Recommended Types of Cucumbers I recently tried this recipe with the cucumbers I harvested from the garden and we all love them. I do the spears with my dehydrated cayenne peppers and the round slices without the extra spice. I’m so glad I came across your recipes. I’ll be trying this with other vegetables.. Hi! I am very partial to okra, too! It has become as hard as finding hen’s teeth to find good okra here in Raleigh, NC, crazy. On the off chance I do find some may I ask what kind of oak leaves you might use if necessary? Some species are toxic and we have so many kinds of oak trees here in North Carolina. (Not as many as we used to in Raleigh due to silly overdevelopment. Getting off soapbox now.)

This recipe takes about an hour to make, assuming 45 minutes of chill time, and will last in your fridge for 2-3 weeks. Note that this has to be stored in an airtight jar or container in the fridge, and the recipe as written, is not meant for canning. I just made these! Question.. do you leave the dill, garlic and bay leaf in the jar for the 3 weeks or do you remove those after a certain period of time? Bake the Jars: Next, preheat the oven to 250°F. Place the jars in the oven for about 20 minutes until the cucumbers turn a shade darker.

Super easy to make: This recipe comes together in literally 15 minutes, and needs basic ingredients you probably have at home. Put the cucumbers and shallots in a colander. Sprinkle over 2 teaspoons of sea salt. After 45 minutes, rinse well.

cups sliced green chilies I am using a combination of jalapeno peppers and serrano peppers - See NOTES on peppers Like every other C+K recipe I’ve tried, this one’s a winner! Used white wine vinegar instead of rice vinegar because didn’t have any at 1:1 ratio and it worked great. Curious to try original recipe and wondering if I can reuse the water/add it to a new batch or not? In a small pan bring the water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper to a boil. Turn off the heat, then carefully pour the hot liquid into the jar over the cucumbers. Be sure the liquid fully submerges the cucumbers and everything. Thank you so much for your kind words! I add the parsley at the same time as the other spices, you were absolutely correct. You’ll have to tell me what you think once you try them, and if you have any questions feel free to reach out! Thanks so much for your support! Thank you so much for your interest in this recipe, I think you’re really going to love it! I’ve never personally tried using a sugar substitute in this recipe, but it’s definitely worth a try, Splenda would probably be a good option since it’s so finely granulated. I hope this helps, let me know how it turns out, I’d love to hear what you think!This crinkle cutter knife looks like it would make hand-cutting your cucumbers really easy! And you could use it for larger things like potatoes too if you wanted to make ruffle chips! Hey, there! I’m Donya and welcome to A Southern Soul.

Close the lid and leave at room temperature for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes until there is no more sugar showing at the bottom of the jar. You'll need a red onion, a cup of distilled white vinegar, salt, sugar, garlic cloves and some red pepper flakes (if you choose to make it spicy!)

You'll want your onions sliced quite thinly, so I suggest using a sharp Chef's knife or a Mandoline slicer for this step. You can either slice it in whole circles, or chop the onion into halves, and then slice those pieces. They’re simple to make and scalable so whether you have just a handful of ripe cukes from your garden or are making a dozen jars you can easily make just what you need. We’re wondering – do you think we can reuse the brine since we just made today? My husband is thinking of using for other veggies from the garden – jalepenos and red peppers?Boil your vinegar solution, then pour it over the okra. You will see it start to bubble, as the vinegar will be seeping into the pods. Here’s a short video of what it looks like. If you like VERY spicy food, you may want more than 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes. However, I’d suggest for the first time starting on the lower side and work your way up. Immediately pour the brine into the bowl with the jalapenos and cucumbers. Cover the bowl with a paper towel or two, pressing down against the liquid to keep everything submerged in the brine.
