Ingredients
1 1/2 lb cucumbers, washed and dried then cut in half or quarters lengthwise
2 cups cold water
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
3 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon dill seed (may be omitted)
2 cups white or cider vinegar
1 tablespoons sugar
4 cloves garlic crushed, chopped or sliced
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Procedure:
Mix all ingredients except cucumbers in a large bowl. Place cucumbers in a large jar or crock. Pour mixture over the cucumbers. Put in the refrigerator for 2-4 days and enjoy. A few things to remember are: 1) Cucumbers become mushy after a while in the brine so eat them don’t just leave them in the fridge for weeks and months. 2) The ingredients above are really a guide and can be adjusted to our own taste. So, taste the brine to see if it is seasoned properly before you pour it over the cucumbers.
