I love pickles, like REALLY love pickles! I’m a bit picky about my pickles though, they need to be crisp and great simple flavor. My favorite is a good garlic pickle… yes this Italian girl also can’t get enough garlic! The other night I remembered that I had an English cucumber that I hadn’t yet used and decided to give homemade Quick Garlic Pickles a whirl. Lets just say, I ate almost all of them myself… they are easy and delicious!
These are so incredibly easy, you just might never buy store bought pickles again! A mixture of water, garlic, salt, sugar, vinegar and peppercorns are simmered for 5 minutes. The garlicky goodness is cooled completely then poured overtop sliced pickle rounds and refrigerated for an hour or 2 {or overnight}. They are crisp, slightly salty, perfectly garlicky and just a hint of pepper. Perfect on their own or to top a big fat juicy burger! Oh yea, my mouth is watering!
