This week for
"French Fridays With Dorie" we made pickles. They were very easy to make and the taste was outstanding. To me, they tasted like a pickle should taste, crisp, tangy, with just a little bit of spice. You start with a seedless cucumber, add salt, vinegar, ginger, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or as long as overnight. Then serve.
Everyone in the family who got a chance to taste the pickles loved them (hubby came home from work too late and they were gone). This recipe is a keeper and one I will be making for a long time.
I would rate this recipe a perfect 10! It can be found on page 340 in "
Around My French Table."

Thank goodness my dad was visiting or I would have eaten the whole batch myself. I love cucumbers and wonder why the rest of the family doesn't share my fondness :)
