Pickles!
This one is from Dom, though I think he received it from Byers
4 pounds pickling cucumbers, cut into 1/2inch thick rounds 1/4 cup chopped garlic 2 jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced 1/2 cup chopped fresh dill Brine: 4 cups white vinegar 2 cups water 6 tbsp kosher salt 1/2 cup sugar 5 heaping tbsp pickling spice 2 tbsp mustard seeds 2 tbsp black peppercorns Combine in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and cool for a couple of minutes. Pour over other ingredients. Cool to room temperature, cover, and put in the fridge for a week.
Dom's comments: I find that it makes less brine than is necessary,
so you can increase the brine proportions, decrease the cucumber
amount, or just shake the jar around each morning (which is what i usually do) to make sure all of them are getting pickled
