My work friend, Nikol, pickles things and last Friday I asked for her recipe. She graciously gave it to me.
Nikol's Pikols
2 cups apple cider vinegar
2 cups white vinegar
4 cups water
1 cup salt
1/2 cup sugar
Peppercorns
2 Bay Leaves
Garlic (if you use minced, the flavor is stronger)
Fresh Dill
Coriander
Crushed red pepper (optional)
Mustard Seed
Whole All Spice (not too much, optional)
If you can get your hands on grape leaves (Russian markets often have them), put one of those in with your pickles. They crisp better that way.
I put them up this past Sunday, so I will know in a week how they turn out.
In case you are wondering, the pickle was too big for my jars, so I cut it in half. I figured it wouldn't compromise the seal on the jar, that way.
