Fumbling Toward Culinary: Pickle Brine

I made pickles this summer and fall, but I planted the pickling cucumbers too late in the summer and did not get the greatest yield, unfortunately. As a result, I don't have a lot of pickles stored up, maybe eight pints at the most. 

I did, however, figure out a pickling brine that I liked, so I'm sharing it here, so I can reference it in subsequent pickling seasons. 

Ingredients:

3 cups of apple cider vinegar

2 cups of water

4 tablespoons of pickling salt

1 tablespoon of sugar
