Servings: 1 jar
Ingredients
- 1-2 medium cucumbers
- 1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
- ½ C white vinegar
- ½ C water
- 1 ½ teaspoon lemonade mix
- 1 ½ teaspoon pickling salt
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon mustard seed
- ¼ teaspoon black peppercorns
- ⅛ tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Slice cucumbers into spears or slices, as preferred. Pack cucumbers and several onion rings in a pint-sized jar, leaving ½ inch at the top for adding your pickle brine.
- To prepare brine, mix water, vinegar and lemonade mix together in a measuring cup. Pour in a small saucepan. Add rest of ingredients and whisk. Heat on medium heat until the ingredients come to a simmer. The sugar and salt should be dissolved. Remove from heat, whisk again and let partially cool.
- Pour warm brine over cucumbers and onions until jar is filled. Put the lid on tightly. Give it a good shake to distribute all of the spices and refrigerate for 24 hours before eating.
