I made pickles!
And they’re super easy too.
• Pickling cucumbers
• Chopped green onions
• Fresh dill
• Mustard seed
• Salt & pepper
• Fill until everything is covered with half water, half vinegar…or more vinegar if you like extra bite
Everything is to taste. Simply let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but the longer the better.
Best part, it’s low FODMAP for my sensitive tummy friends 🥹
This huge jar cost about $6, no sketchy ingredients, and tastes so good!

Pickling is a great way to preserve cucumbers and other vegetables, enhancing their flavor while creating a crunchy snack. This process not only adds variety to your meals but also can be customized to suit your taste preferences. When preparing pickles, it's essential to choose the right cucumbers, with pickling cucumbers being ideal due to their firm texture. Combine them with fresh herbs, spices, and a brine of vinegar and water for the best flavor. You can also experiment with different spices like garlic or chili flakes for added kick. Allow your pickles to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but longer waits allow deeper flavor infusions, making them even more delicious. Plus, enjoy the satisfaction of knowing your pickles contain no preservatives or artificial ingredients, making them a healthier alternative to store-bought versions. Whether as a snack, sandwich topping, or side dish, homemade pickles are a flavorful addition to your culinary repertoire!
so so fun!! 🥰 is there a difference between using smaller cucumbers than the bigger?? personally I love any of the smaller cucumbers, but my family prefers the bigger ones!
