Homemade Pickles

Ever wanted your pickles to taste fresher? To still have the crunch and freshness of a cucumber when you eat them? Well, I decided I wanted some, too.

2 cucumbers sliced thin
2 cups balsamic vinegar
2 lemons (juice and pulp)
1 white onion (chopped)
Salt
2 hours in the fridge for crispy, tart, refreshing, salty perfection.

Marlipaige Grade: A (tasty and healthy)
Ease of creation: Easy!
Total Time: 2 hours 5 minutes

I used the "Amish White Bread" recipe. Super easy. But instead of using bread pans I used my baking stone I got for Christmas. They turned out as beautiful round white loaves.

So I did not take before and after pictures with mine, but I wasn't that impressed anyway. It was...a little dirty before. Some stuck on stuff because I had recently scrubbed it. And afterward it was...still a little dirty. I mean..it cleaned off SOME things, but not everything. And it certainly wasn't the MIRACULOUS solution pictured.

I did indeed boil orange peels for an hour and the house did indeed smell pretty good. I harvested all the leftover juice and peels for cleaners.

This absolutely works exactly the same. It's a 5:1 ratio. 5 water: 1 oil. Works JUST as well.
