Pickles with a kick



So I've been told these pickles are a cross between dill and sweet with a kick at the end! Very simple and easy to make, the best part is you can eat them as soon as they are done, of course the longer they sit the more tastier, if they last that long!

 












                                     















Always sterilize your jar and lid, you probably know this, but just in case;)

You will need:
  • 1 seedless cucumber(For one mason jar you will use half the cucumber)
  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced
  • small sweet onion, sliced(I use about half)
  • dill, a few sprigs
  • peppercorns
  • hot pepper flakes, just a pinch
  • sugar(about a tablespoon)
  • 1/2 cup water(maybe a little more)
  • 1/2 cup white vinegar(maybe a little more) You want your jar to have enough juice.
  • salt, whatever you have on hand, a couple pinches

I usually don't measure out ingredients, so add more or less of any of the ingredients for your own taste buds.  My family loves a little of sweetness and spice, My favorite!!  Enjoy!
