I always make sure that I have a jar of homemade pickles in the refrigerator. The homemade version is much more crisp plus just knowing what goes into my food gives me a great piece of mind. You can cut the cucumbers very thin and they will be ready in a day or two or rather thick like I do then leave them for about a week to sit and marinate. If you have a few large jars around the house then its best to use those. I actually just use my old pickle jars since they are the perfect size.
1 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup white sugar
5 cup cucumber slices
4 teaspoons dill seeds (or fresh dill)
1 cup sweet onion, sliced
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring vinegar, salt and sugar to a boil. Boil until the sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes.
2. Place the cucumbers and onions in a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables. Transfer to sterile containers and store in the refrigerator.
Yields: 8 cups
I will have to try your recipe in sha Allah because i love store bought pickles and like you said it’s always better to have that peace of mind of knowing what is exactly in our food.
Thank you for the recipe noor.
Your welcome and you will love it.
