Notions & Notations of a Novice Cook
I got tired of seeing overpriced jars of pickles in the grocery store and decided to make some myself. Just going to leave a recipe for this hither. Use it in burgers or, if you’re feeling rather radical, make some pickle chips! Bread & Butter Pickles  (recipe from Smitten Kitchen,makes 4 cups of pickles, filling a 1-quart jar): [ 1 pound cucumbers, sliced 1/4 inch thick + 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced + 1/4 cup Kosher salt + 1/2 to 3/4 cups sugar + 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar + Pickling spice of your choice (options: 1/4 teaspoons ground turmeric + 1 tablespoon mustard seeds + 1 tablespoon coriander seeds + 1/4 teaspoon celery seed + 1/4 teaspoon cumin ] In a medium bowl, combine the cucumbers, onion and salt. Mix well. Cover the mixture with ice. Let stand at room temperature for two hours. In a pot, bring sugar, vinegar and spices to a boil. Drain cucumbers and onions. Add to vinegar mixture and bring almost back to a boil. Remove from heat and cool. You can store the pickles in an airtight container for up to three weeks in the fridge. Enjoy!
