Munchie Monday: Quick and Easy Pickles

Robbie from Robbie and Gary Gardening on YouTube made some zucchini pickles the other day.

She took some fresh dill and placed it in the bottom of a clean pickle jar then inserted some spears of zucchini to fill the jar.  Next she poured in bottled water to fill the jar.

When the water covered the spears of zucchini, she poured the water out into a bowl and added salt and stirred until it was dissolved.  She then poured the water back into the jar and placed the lid lightly over the top and put the jar into a container so in case there was bubbling up, the bubbles would be contained.  In two days she had pickles which she then put in the refrigerator to enjoy at her leisure.

Well, that seemed like a good idea to me.

The only problem we had was that we only had dried dill weed in the house and no convenient access to fresh dill so I soldiered on with the dried dill.

These are the two jars of pickles as we started them.  We are hoping for the best. In addition to the dill weed, I put garlic cloves in the jars. Well, I am hoping for the best.  Dear One likes sweet pickles.  Maybe we will try them sometime.

Today I checked the jars of our pickles and find that they have begun bubbling.  I had planned to leave them there on the shelf and check them on the third day, so I will wait one more day then try a bite!
