how i made homemade pickles🥒😋

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Cucumbers (washed, sliced into half‑moon pieces; choose firm, fresh cucumbers)
• 2 cups Water (cold tap water)
• 2 cups White Distilled Vinegar (5% acidity; can substitute apple cider vinegar for a milder flavor)
• 1 packet Garlic Seasoning Packet (included with the pickling kit; contains garlic powder, salt, and spices)

Instructions

1. Wash the cucumbers

   Rinse the cucumbers under cold running water, scrubbing gently to remove any dirt.

   Time: PT5M

2. Slice the cucumbers

   Place cucumbers on a cutting board and cut them into half‑moon slices about ¼‑inch thick. If the slices are too long for your container, halve them again.

   Time: PT10M

3. Combine water, vinegar and seasoning

   In a medium saucepan, pour 2 cups water and 2 cups white distilled vinegar. Add the garlic seasoning packet and stir.

   Time: PT5M

4. Bring brine to a boil

   Place the saucepan over medium‑high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Let it boil for about 2 minutes.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 100°C

5. Pour brine over cucumbers

   Arrange the sliced cucumbers in the pickling container, then carefully pour the hot brine over them, ensuring the cucumbers are completely submerged.

   Time: PT2M

6. Cool and refrigerate

   Allow the container to cool to room temperature (about 5 minutes), then seal the lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let the cucumbers sit for at least 24 hours; longer fermentation yields deeper flavor.
