Chef Angel makes the best pickles! I don't even like pickles, but these are delicious! My one year old granddaughter Daisy loves pickles, go figure, I can't wait to make these for her!

Ingredients
  • 1 English (or regular) cucumber, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, halved
  • 1-2 sprigs of fresh basil
  • 2 tsp peppercorns
  • 1.5 cup distilled white vinegar
  • 1.5 cup water
  • 2 Tbsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
Directions
  • Add sliced cucumbers, garlic, herbs, and peppercorns to a glass jar.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve about 1 minute.
  • Let cool slightly and pour over the cucumbers.
  • Set aside to cool to room temperature, then store the pickles in the fridge.

Enjoy!
