FRESH PICKLES

Ingredients

1 medium cuke (unpeeled)

1/4 cup vinegar (any kind you have)

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon black pepper, ground

2 garlic cloves (or more if you like) peeled and chopped.

 

Procedure

Cut off ends of cuke (sometimes they're bitter).   Hold fork on angle to skin of cuke and run down the whole length.  Do this top to bottom all around cuke.  Leaving skin on makes pickles crunchy.  The fork thing makes them look pretty when sliced.   Slice cukes and put in glass bowl in refrigerator.  Meanwhile combine oil, vinegar, sugar, and pepper.  Whisk until combined.  Add garlic and poor over cukes in bowl.  Put back in refrigerator.  Best made day ahead.

 

Note: No sodium.  Can have your pickles and eat them too!
