30-35 small-medium cucumbers
2 cups vinegar
4 cups water
2 packages of pickling mix
Materials:
canning pot
4 quart sized mason jars
tongs
Optional: Labels, if giving as gifts
Makes: 4 quart sized jars of pickles
Tips:
- If you need a bit more brine to fill your jars, just use 2 parts vinegar and 1 part water to top them off.
- Never, ever add brine to the jars if it is not very hot/boiling... putting cooled down brine in the jar and then adding them to the boiling canning water will surely crack your jars and leave you pickle-less!
- Don't stop at cucumbers! Pickle peppers, onions, cabbage, cauliflower, or any other kind of veggie you might like to try pickled! Experiment! :)
