Last month, I shared a beginners guide to hydroponic gardening. It has grown so much that I decided to use my fresh dill to make homemade pickles.

Here's what you'll need:
Pickling cucumbers ("Bumpy" are best!)
(One bag of pickling cucumbers makes several jars.)
Garlic gloves* Fresh dill
Clean jars*Label (optional)
Cooled brine:
1 1/4 cups white vinegar
3 cups water
1 tablespoon salt* 1 tablespoon sugar

Ready to make your own? Start by heating the brine ingredients on the stove until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Allow to cool completely.

Next: While the brine is cooling, cut the cucumbers into thick slices and bruise garlic cloves. Then: Fill the jars halfway with cucumbers, add dill and garlic, and top off with more cucumbers. {TIP: This is the perfect time to recycle food jars as the pickles are refrigerated--not canned.}

Last: Once the brine is room temperature, fill the jars, cover with a lid and refrigerate. Optional: Add a cute label to record the date--also fun for gift giving!
