Quick Pickle, Dill Pickle Spears Recipe

Ingredients for BBQ Dill Pickles

• 4-5 Pickling cucumbers
• 3-5 Sprigs of dill
• 3-5 garlic cloves or 1 tsp Dehydrated minced garlic
• 1 Cup Distilled White Vinegar
• 1 Cup Water
• 1.5 tbsp Diamond Crystal Kosher salt
• 1.5 tbsp White sugar

Cut Cucumbers into Spears

I like to use pickling cukes – cut these in half and then halve again to make spears.

To a Medium Pot Add the Following

• 1 Cup White Distilled Vinegar
• 1 Cup Water
• 1.5 tbsp Kosher Salt
• 1.5 tbsp White Sugar

Ensure the salt and sugar are well combined.

Bring to a boil and then take off the heat.

To the Bottom of Your Mason Jars, Add Fresh Dill and Garlic Cloves

Take 3-5 garlic cloves and crush with your knife. You don’t need to mince them but if you want to, feel free.

Take 3-5 sprigs of dill and put them at the bottom.

Take your spears and add as many as you can to the jar.

Take Your Cooled Pickling Liquid and Add it to the Mason Jar

You want to add enough brine liquid to cover the pickles.

Then cover with a lid and store in your refrigerator.

Use within 2 weeks.

Slice Pickles, Crush Garlic, and Add to Sprigs of Dill to Mason Jar

• Take your pickling cukes and cut in half length-wise. Then cut in half again to make spears.
  4-5 Whole Pickling cucumbers
• Peel garlic and then crush – mince if you prefer but it's not totally necessary.
  3-5 Whole Garlic Cloves
• Take 3-5 sprigs of fresh dill and the crushed garlic and add to the mason jar.
• Take your cucumber spears and add as many as you can to the mason jar.
• Add as much brine liquid as you can so that the spears are covered.
• Cover the mason jar with your lids and then allow to cool.
• Once cooled, store in your refrigerator. The flavor will continue to improve over the next couple of days.

Notes

I used 1 tsp of Dehydrated minced garlic because I almost never have fresh garlic on hand.

When making the brine liquid, work in batches. If you need more, make more instead of scaling.

This is for a small batch and are to be used in a couple of weeks.
