Another way to preserve cucumbers
Other than freezing, I haven’t tried to preserve the free food I get in the summer, but have always wanted to learn. I wont lie I have always been super nervous about making pickles. I always thought the only way was to do the whole canning process or lacto ferment them, which is something that I wasn’t quite ready to jump into yet. Then I learned that you can make them in simply in your refrigerator. They taste great and last quite a long time too! One day I will learn how to lacto ferment and can, but for now these have been an amazing first step into learning how to preserve food.

3/4 Cup Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

1 tbsp Sugar
4 Cloves of Garlic
1/8 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
12 Springs of Fresh Dill – We got ours from the farmers market
1 tbsp Coriander Seeds
1 tsp Mustard Seeds
