Subject: RE: BS: Pickles and Preserves
A very nice pickle can be made overnight:
For 1 1-qt. jar
1 1/2 TBS non-iodized salt (I use kosher salt--you might have to reduce this to 1 TBS table salt)
2 TSP sugar
1-1/4 cups of white vinegar
4 cloves garlic (crushed)
6 sprigs dill
2 TSP pickling spice (I'd use dill seed, but I can't buy it locally)
1 quartered jalapeno pepper
mix well, add cukes(I quarter them, but slices work too)
Add water to fill
Refrigerate overnight
Enjoy
