HOT PICKLE

So, we have been pickling our cucumbers, and I am proud to say that
everyone wants my hot pickle. Here is the basic idea for the brine:
11/4 cup vinegar (5% acidity white vinegar), 2 cups of water, 2tbps
sugar, 3tbps kosher salt, 2tbps corriander. Fill a clean jar with
cucumbers (you can also do blanched carrots, green beans, or
asparagus), 6 garlic cloves, 2 hot chili peppers (orange makes your
jar look nice), and a big handful of dill. The brine recipe makes 2
jars worth. 24 hours and you will have yummy hot pickle. Impress
your friends.
