What’s summer without cucumbers? And what’re cucumbers without pickles? Yes, it’s time to make your own pickles. In this recipe, I am transforming two summer vegetables. Cucumbers and carrots.
#SpoonTip: It’s best to use Kirby cucumbers when making pickles. For the pickling spices, you can often find different blends of spices already combined for pickling.
