Pickles every four days...

I would say that this is a "first world problem" being forced to make pickles every four days, but really, it's rather an "old world problem", as this was what it was like in the good old days. With only three cucumber plants, I am still getting enough cucumbers every four or five days to make a quart jar or more of pickles. *sigh* Life's rough.

In searching for more variety of pickled goodness (mustard pickles, dill pickles, sriracha chard pickles...) my lovely wife found a recipe for jalapeño basil garlic dill pickles... Why not? I just happen to have a planter full of basil as well.

Into each quart jar:

2 garlic cloves

2 heads dill

1 tbsp pickling spice

1 dried chilli

Handful of sliced jalapeño peppers

Packed full of cucumbers

Handful of basil

Standard pickle solution:

3 cups pickling vinegar

3 cups water

6 tbsp pickling salt

Wate bath processed for 15 minutes. Done, and done.
