PG? Pickle Gang! Better act like you know! Inside joke between me and a friend. We love pickles. Sweet, tangy, crunchy pickles! I came across a simple pickling recipe and I decided to try it. I cut up some kirby cucumbers tossed them in a jar with a few herbs, a pepper, some garlic and poured over a hot aromatic spice mixture right over everything. I had some of the mixture leftover plus some green beans, so I pickled those too! Pop them in the fridge and let them do their thing! Then I decided to pickle some strawberries. The pickles and strawberries were my favorite, the green beans? I’m a try again with those.

In a sauce pan, toast your spices. Add in your water, vinegar, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes.
Pour your hot mixture over your cucumbers, seal up your jar. Let cool and place in fridge for at least 2 days before eating!
