Time for pickles

When I smell garlicky pickle brine, I instantly think summer. Leisurly lunches enjoyed on paper plates... Sandwiches, chips and a pickle. Running through sprinklers and riding the lawn mower for fun makes you hungry as a kid. Eating on the porch or inside with the sliding glass swung open, my sister and I dined in our summer uniform, our bathing suits. 

These days, I'm more suited to make my own pickles. It's so easy! I stumbled upon a recipe in a magazine, and have made them ever since. My dill plant is exploding with its grassy herb, so it's the perfect time for pickles! 

This recipe is a snap! Boil the pickling ingredients (vinegar, peppercorns, mustard and dill seeds, salt, sugar and vinegar) chop cucumber into spears or slices, combine everything in a jar with fresh dill... And refrigerate! Click on the link for instructions!

The white glass container is a vintage yogurt container where I like to store my garlic:)
