Sweet and Spicy Pickles

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup white vinegar

  • 1 cup water

  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed

  • 2 TBSP sugar

  • 1 TBSP salt

  • 6 jalapenos, sliced

  • 1/4 to 1/2 cucumber, sliced

Combine vinegar, water, garlic, sugar, and salt in a medium pot and boil. Add jalapenos and cucumber, stir, and remove from heat. Let sit for at least 8 minutes before moving the jalapenos and cucumber into a jar and covering with the brine. Refrigerate, and eat when cooled.
