How to Make

  • Step 2: Place cucumbers and garlic into a sterilized large very clean mason or pickling jar (I sterilize in my dishwater on hotest cycle).

  • Step 3: In another clean bowl, combine the water, salt, sugar and vinegar, mix vigerously until the sugar and salt granules are completely dissolved. Pour water mixture in the jar that is holding the pickles. Add the rest of the ingredients and seal jar.
