Homemade Pickles
I love anything sour or pickled! I have tried a lot of pickling reciped and have never found one I absolutely loved, until now. I am so happy with this recipe and the great thing about it is they taste great just a few hours after making them and last up to 3 months (although they would never last that long at my home). They have a little heat but if you don’t like heat just leave the jalapeno’s out. I used cucumbers, geen beans, pearl onions and carrots in mine, but throw in anything you have. I will add cauliflower next time. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!!

4 C water
2 C white vinegar
