Quick Pickles
These are really good and crispy, great with burgers or almost anything from the barbeque.
Ingredients
- 4 medium Kirby cucumbers in Sweden they are called Västerås Gurka
- 120 ml cider vinegar you can sub white wine vinegar.
- 50 gr white sugar
- 50 gr course salt
- 1 tbsp dill seed
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 garlic cloves lightly crushed
Instructions
- Begin by sterilizing a jar large enough to just fit the cut up pickles. Place in a 120 degree oven or 10 minutes
- Wash well and cut each cucumber into 4 long spears.
- In a pot bring to a boil the vinegar and sugar. Remove from heat and add the rest of the ingredients stir well.
- Place the cucumber spears into the sterilized jars and pour the warm vinegar mixture over them. There should be just enough to cover the pickles.
- Shake the jar to distribute the seeds and garlic and leave overnight in the refrigerator.
- The pickles are ready in 24 hours and keep for about 7 days.
Notes
These are really good and crispy, because they aren't pickled to last for storage they keep there crispness. Unfortunately for us here in Sweden, Kirby's or Västerås gurka are only available in September.
Use a jar that is just large enough to hold the pickles.
