Years ago, we attempted to make pickles. I remember lots of boiling water, lots of strong smells, and a bunch of jars of mushy, yucky pickles. Not worth the effort when you can get your polish dills fairly cheap at the grocery store.
Ever the optimist, though, I read Scott’s posting on Momofuku’s Vinegar Pickles at Show-Me Eats, and I was struck by the fact he made two jars in about 15 minutes. Why not give it a try?
Yumm! They are the perfect accompaniment to dress up a sandwich, or even just sneak a few cool slices out of the refrigerator. Give them a try – quick, easy, inexpensive and yummy. I can’t wait to make them another batch with the fresh cucumbers I picked up this morning from the charming ladies at Troostwood Market!
Hey, that’s my Dad’s recipe–is Scott a Minnesotan? Works like a champ, every time.
