Today we got together for kids cooking class to continue our knife skills. In the middle of class, this jar of pickles walked in attached to the hand of a dad. Wait. Does that sound like the pickles had legs? Well...they didn't. We needed them for our potato salad. We decided that we should make some pickles too. Did you know that pickles are made of cucumbers? Some kids don't know that. I bet you did.Here's what you need:
One quart jar with lid
measuring spoons and cups
knife to cut cucumbers (if you are allowed...ask an adult!)
Food for Fridge Pickles:
2 large cucumbers
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup water
1/2 tsp dill weed or seed
1 clove garlic (peel off skin and cut in half)
3-4 small red pepper flakes (optional)
Slice the cucumbers in 1/4 inch slices. We cut them in half first.
Slice the cucumbers in 1/4 inch slices. We cut them in half first.
Put all the rest of the food ingredients in the glass jar. Be sure to stir it a little to dissolve the salt.
Fill up the jar with the cucumbers. If there is any uncovered pickles, be sure to fill up the rest of the jar with water.
Put on the lid tightly and put the jar in the fridge. The pickles will be ready to eat in about a week.There you go!
