We like to garden. Part of gardening is making the harvest last as long as possible. One way of doing this is canning. We decided to give pickling a shot. Here's what to do:
Select your cucumbers, try to make sure that they are not too ripe, we don't want any developed seeds.
Buy some vinegar, salt, and pickling spices.
Thoroughly wash and sanitize jars.
Fill jar with vinegar and spices and screw cap on tightly. Leave 1/4" of air space at the top. Boil for 10-15 minutes. Carefully remove from the boiling water. Once the jars have cooled, make sure that they have sealed properly by pushing on the lids. The lids should not pop if sealed correctly.
Store and enjoy for up to a year.
