my apartment is empty. this weekend my roommates are out of town and in honor of their absence i'm making the most of clean counter tops and quiet time. lots of coffee and leisure reading. earlier this week i made refrigerator pickles, and today i made hummus. i'm dancing around the idea of making some homemade bread today, too. but i'll probably end up going for an afternoon swim in the river instead, second swim of the day. i hope you're enjoying the sweet sweet summer days as much as i am.
fresh refrigerator dill pickles
1 cup white vinegar
3 cups water
shy 1/4 cup salt
3 Tbs sugar or honey, agave
4-5 cups fresh pickling cucumbers (sliced)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 Tbs cloves
4 small white bulb onions (sliced thinly)
lots of fresh dill
2 medium glass jars with lids
:: bring vinegar, water, salt and sugar just to a boil to make the brine. Layer sliced cucumber, garlic, cloves, onions and dill in jars and then pour hot brine mixture into jars. Let sit on counter for 2-3 hours, then refrigerate.
