Hi, all! Time for another veggie recipe courtesy of Misfits Market (if you’re interested in trying out Misfits Market, get 25% off your first box by clicking here)! We got a few nice cucumbers in our box last week and, as great as cucumbers are, they’re not really my go-to vegetable. I decided to try my hand at turning them into something that I much prefer: dill pickles! It was surprisingly easy- just throw a few ingredients into a mason jar with cucumber spears (you can also do cucumber slices if you prefer) and leave it in the fridge for three days! Here’s the recipe:

• 2 large cucumbers, quartered lengthwise and halved width-wise (you can also cut them into thin little cucumber “chips”)
• 1 3/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp white vinegar
• 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• 2 garlic cloves, whole
• 1 head fresh dill

Stir water, vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and cool completely.

While the vinegar mixture cools, combine cucumber spears, garlic, and dill in a sealable plastic container or a mason jar.

Pour the vinegar mixture over the cucumber mixture.

Seal the jars/containers and put them in the fridge for at least three days. After three days, you’ll have delicious dill pickles!

That’s it! Super easy and a delicious way to transform a vegetable that I wasn’t feeling excited about into something that I really enjoy. Happy cooking!
