Pickle Brine

Upon request!  My hilarious suitemate actually texted this idea to my sister while in DC.  That is how crucial this information is to the American people.

Did you know...that by changing the flavor of brine, you can actually get a different pickle?

It is true.

Without further ado...here are three different brine recipies:

water
coarse Kosher salt
fresh flowering dill
whole peeled garlic
bay leaves
allspice berries
mustard seeds
coriander seeds
celery seeds
peppercorns
hot red pepper

white vinegar
apple cider vinegar
coarse Kosher salt
sugar
onions
allspice berries
mustard seeds
celery seeds
red pepper flakes
cinnamon stick
cloves
turmeric

water
sea salt
fresh flowering dill
whole peeled garlic
cherry leaves
horseradish leaves
peppercorns

Yep...pick one, add cucumbers, and wait, I guess?
