Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delicious pickles:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of small cucumbers
- 4 cups of water
- 2 cups of white vinegar
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of salt
- 2 tablespoons of mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon of dill seeds
- 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns
- 2-4 whole cloves of garlic (to taste)
- 1-2 limes (zested and juiced)
Instructions:
- Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly. Slice them into either rounds or spears, depending on your preference.
- In a saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring until the sugar and salt are fully dissolved.
- Add in the mustard seeds, dill seeds, black peppercorns, and garlic. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
- While the mixture is cooling, prepare your jars by sterilizing them. Ensure they are washed and heated. It’s important to keep everything clean so your pickles stay fresh!
- Pack the cucumber slices into the jars. Don’t be shy—fill them up until they’re brimming!
- Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers, making sure they’re fully submerged. Add the lime juice and zest on top for that extra zing.
- Seal the jars tightly and let them cool to room temperature. Afterward, refrigerate and let them sit for at least 24 hours for the best flavor.
- Once they’ve marinated, your lime pickles are ready to be enjoyed! They’ll keep in the fridge for about 2-3 weeks.
And there you have it! A refreshing and zesty burst of flavor in every bite. Get ready to share these lime pickles with family and friends—they are guaranteed to be a hit!
