3 Levels of Pickles

Here are the 3 levels of pickles.

Level 1: Store-Bought Kosher Pickles
What is there to say? Store-bought pickles are just okay.

Level 2: Quick Homemade Pickles
Add fresh cucumbers, black peppercorns, garlic, dill, water, and white vinegar to a jar and let them sit for a couple of hours to a couple of days before eating. Better than store-bought, but not perfect.

Level 3: Ultimate Homemade Pickles
Pickling spice, Thai chilis, habanero, garlic, kosher salt, fresh dill, apple cider vinegar, and boiling water go into a canning jar with fresh cucumbers to brine.

Not only are these pickles delicious, but the flavorful brine can be used on its own.

Store-bought pickles just cannot compare to homemade.
