Okay, I'm not a stickler for following recipes to the letter, so here's my take on making homemade pickles (which turned out very well, thank you!).
1. Slice up a bunch of cucumbers (we got the cute mini kind from our CSA that are extra bumpy and meant for pickling, but I imagine any kind would work).
2. Boil 1 1/2 cups of white vinegar with a little pinch of sugar and a big pinch (or three) of salt. Let it cool.
3. Put cucumbers in a big mason jar, spoon in a bunch of garlic, and top with the cooled vinegar. Let them sit in the fridge for a few days and you've got pickles!
I didn't sanitize the jar or anything, so they were only good for a few weeks in the fridge vs. something you could put on the shelf. But overall a success!
