Notes
- For this recipe, you can use regular cucumbers, English cucumbers, pickling cucumbers, or mini cucumbers. These can all be cut into wedges, or sliced, depending on your own personal preference.
- Strong Pickles! This recipe makes a strong-flavored pickle. If you like less of a kick, replace up to half of the vinegar with water.
- Bread and Butter Pickles Variation -- replace 1/2 cup of the white vinegar with apple cider vinegar. Then, instead of adding in black peppercorns, garlic, and dill you'll flavor the pickles with:
- Spicy Variation -- add in 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes to the pickling liquid.
- 1 inch cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
- 6 allspice berries
- 6 whole cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
