Remember those cukes from the #notmygarden ? Turns out the “best pickles I’ve ever had in my whole life” (direct quote from boyfriend #notbragging) are *ridiculously* easy to make!
Purdy too! (No filter. They be vibrant green, bay-bee!)
Being that I’ve never in my life made pickles before, plus the fact that googling “make your own pickles” brings up a handful of totally contradictory info, this one felt like a total shot in the dark.
Plus I didn’t wanna ruin the jar by takin’ one out to try. So I gave ’em to my boyfriend totally un-taste-tested. (Yikes!)
But I’m here to say …
It worked! It worked! We got pickles! And it was easy!
My boyfriend officially named them “Pickled to Death 😉.” (And he told me to put a winky face in the name.)
Who am I to argue? When a man gets all excited and calls your very first pickles the BEST EVER, he can name ’em whatever he wants!
