Ingredients:
- 8 cups white vinegar
- 4 cups water
- 4-6 cups sugar
- 1-2 cups high fructose corn syrup
- 1 bunch dill weed
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 onion
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Brine: In a large pan, combine the white vinegar, water, sugar, dill weed, and garlic cloves. Stir well to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.
-
Bring to a Boil: Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Allow it to simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Cooling Stage: Once the brine has finished simmering, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. While it’s cooling, you can remove the garlic cloves if desired. If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can leave them in or add a bit of garlic powder to enhance the taste.
-
Preparation of Vegetables: While the brine is cooling, prepare the cucumbers and onions. Slice the cucumber into rounds or spears, depending on your preference. Thinly slice the onion as well.
-
Combine and Store: Place the sliced cucumbers and onions in a clean, heatproof container or jar. Pour the cooled brine over the vegetables, ensuring they are fully submerged.
-
Infusion: Allow the pickles to marinate in the brine for at least a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop that classic pickle taste.
-
Variations: Feel free to customize your New York Pickles by adding sliced sweet red peppers or other vegetables of your choice. Get creative and experiment with different flavors to suit your taste preferences.
-
Serving Suggestions: These pickles are perfect for snacking straight from the jar, adding to sandwiches, or serving as a flavorful accompaniment to your favorite dishes. They also make a fantastic homemade gift for friends and family.
-
Storage: Store your New York Pickles in the refrigerator for up to several weeks. Make sure to use a clean, airtight container to keep them fresh and flavorful.
