Ingredients

3 pickling cucumbers (You just want enough pickles to fit your quart jar)

3 cloves garlic chopped

2 or 3 sprigs fresh dill

2 cups white vinegar

1 cup water

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon white sugar

1 tablespoon salt

2 teaspoons MSG

1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes; double for extra spicy

Directions

Slice the cucumbers into coin shapes and pack them into a quart-sized mason jar.

Roughly chop the garlic cloves, then add those and the fresh dill sprigs to the jar with the cucumbers. Try to pack them down a little.

Add the vinegar, water, sugar, salt, msg and red pepper flakes to a small saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, stir the mixture, and remove from the heat.

Pour the mixture into the jar, over the cucumbers.

Close the jar lid and let it rest on your counter until it’s cool.

Refrigerate and enjoy some great pickles over the next few weeks.
