No-Fat Raw Pickles

  • 1 clove garlic, cut in half
  • 4 small cucumbers (pickling cucumbers (Kirby) work best)
  • 5 sprigs of fresh dill
  • 1 tsp of cumin seeds - optional
  • 1 tsp. caraway seeds - optional
  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar (with mother in it)
  • 1 cut in half jalapeno (won't make spicy if used over next few days)
  • 1/2 cup water, approximately
Instructions
  1. Place garlic and cut jalapeno and spices in a quart jar.
  2. Wash cucumbers and cut into thin slices - if have a mandolin - safely use that for thin slices.
  3. Place cucumber slices in jar along with rest of ingredients.  
  4. Screw lid on jar and place in refrigerator. (I always give the jar a gentle shake before placing in frig – just to make sure ingredients are mixed well.)
  5. Use within a few days because no salt is in recipe to preserve.
