RUSSIAN PICKLES RECIPE

How to make super quick and easy gherkin recipe. Gherkins or pickled cucumbers as they are also known are easy to make with a simple brine, pickling spices, garlic and dill.

 It’s no secret that many things from your own kitchen are more flavourful, healthful, and nutrient dense than store-bought. 

Pickles are no exception. You end up with crispy, fresh, delicious pickles that have all the raw nutrients in tact. These are eaten a lot in Latvia! 

We have them as an entree with a shot of vodka before the starter and main course. Its very traditional in my family, all my friends that visited Latvia have done this ritual. 


We will need


500 gr of small cucumbers or as many as you need for your jar
6 cloves of garlic
peppercorns
fresh dill
bay leaves
HOT water
Sugar
Salt

Directions 

Step 1: Place the dill with garlic and peppercorns at the bottom. Layer the cucumbers and repeat the process until your jar is filled. You can use any glass jars you have at home. 
Step 2 : Boil some water, dissolve sugar and salt and pour into your jar. Make sure to measure your salt and sugar. For each lt of water, we add 2 tbsp of large salt and 1 tsp of sugar. 
Step 3: Close the lid and wait 24 hours! You can enjoy them straight after that!

is it possible to use honey instead of sugar?

Pickles are always best made at home. From centuries it is a home made product that is recently industrialized. Wel done on sharing it.

Oh yummy, I am definately going to try this one next time

Beautiful,elegant work ! Like your style and vision! Cheers to you :)

I'm going to give this a shot. My wife likes cucumbers, i'm not a fan. I love dill pickles though. Just hope I can find Dill at my local grocery. You made it all the better by putting a bottle of Russian Standard in with the pickles!

I had never heard of that tradition before I'm eager to give it a shot! Thanks for sharing. :)

Most carry it nd even some roadside stands when it is in season but it is also actually easy to grow too if you have a patch of dirt. I grew some when I lived in a mobile home. Plant some seeds this year and you should have some for next years pickles. My mom makes them and they are nice garlicy snacks. :)

do it!! cant wait to see how it turns out!! vodka is a must :P
