Ingredients

  • 2 Medium Pickles (Sliced) Depending on the size
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Cider Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes
  • 2 Cloves Garlic (Chopped)
  • 2 tsp Black Peppercorns
  • 2 tsp Mustard Seed (Whole)
  • Grape leaves (For covering the pickles)

Instructions

  • Boil your lids in a small saucepan.
  • In a medium saucepan, add all the dry ingredients EXCEPT the grape leaves. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer while you slice the cucumbers.
  • Slice your cucumbers to desired thickness. I used a mandolin slicer and it worked AMAZING!! (Caught my knuckles a few times, but that's because I wasn't using it properly.)
  • Arrange them in your pint jars.
  • Pour the wet mixture over the cucumbers and cover with a grape leaf to hold down the cucumbers.
  • Put your lids on and can. (I'm no canning expert, so be sure to look it up.) Or just store in the fridge and skip the canning altogether!!
