Two-Day Dill Pickles



What to do with an empty pickle jar and a fridge full of cucumbers? Make pickles of course! Here's short cut to have fresh pickles in only two days- no fancy canning equipment required. In my opinion, pickles go good with anything- even a good side to go with your breakfast. Although it takes two days for the pickles to really absorb the brine, it only takes about 5 minutes to prep this recipe. This is another recipe using substantially grown, hydroponic cucumbers from Penn State. So be sure to save your empty pickle jars and start planting those cucumber seeds for this summer! 

Ingredients:

Cucumbers (Sliced in Quarters)--- 2
Sweet Onion (chopped)--- 1/4 CUP
Water--- 3/4 CUP
White Vinegar--- 1/4 CUP
Fresh Dill--- 2 TSP
Salt and Pepper--- To taste

Step by Step:

  • Slice cucumbers into desired shapes
  • Place in a 16 OZ jar and fill with water and vinegar. Season with onion, salt, pepper and dill. Seal the lid and give the jar a good shake

  • Place in the refrigerator for two days to allow the cucumbers to absorb the brine.

Enjoy!!
