These tangy pickles got made into pickles using a 24 hour brine for extra flavour and crunch.
They were made with fresh dill and cucumbers from our gardens and the garlic came from the Uxbridge farmers market.
Preserving the bounty from my Uxbridge suburban Homestead gardens + Ontario growers is among my greatest joys, capturing the incomparable taste of sun-kissed local food. Every product is made by hand, in small batches, in our Celiac-safe gluten-free kitchen.
Ingredients - cucumbers, garlic, dill, peppercorns, mustard seed, bay leaf, vinegar, water and pickling salt.

Over the course of a week, take them outside for a few hours at a time, bringing them back indoors afterwards. First sit them in the shade and then slowly introduce them to the sun.
