Notes
- Nutrition: An estimate based on only half of the solution being consumed.
- Jars: A 16-oz. mason jar works best. The wide mouth jars will also work equally as well. Just make sure you use glass jars with a tight fitting lid. The hot liquid will leach plastic into the pickles!
- Storage: Pickles will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 1 months and will slowly lose their crispness after that.
- Dill: 1 teaspoon dried dill can be used in place of fresh.
