Spiced Soy Sauce Cucumber Pickles
Makes 2 quarts




For my friend Stacie who loves my pickles so much.  Stacie now you can make your own! It is so easy to make and you can eat in 2 days!  So hopefully you can make it soon and let me know how it turns out.  

You will need 2 quarts jars.
Ingredients:

10 to 12 pickle cucumbers (it depends on the size of cucumber)
1 big or 2 small onions
1 to 2 jalapenos (depends on the spicyness you want)
optional: 2 bay leaves, whole black peppers

For the pickle sauce
1 cup water
3/4 cup Braggs Aminos (soy sauce) or 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup Braggs Aminos
1/2 cup Sucanat Sweetener (sugar)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar



Directions:

Sanitize jars in boiling water and set a side.
Wash cucumbers with coarse salt.
Slice cucumbers no thinner than 1/4 inch, cut onions into 1 inch squares (or as you desire size)


put a layer of cucumber, onion and pepper in the jar. Add a bay leave and whole peppers into the jar.

For the sauce:
In the medium pot, add water, sweetener of choice, and salt (if you are using). When it starts to boil, add Braggs Aminos and add vinegar last then turn off the heat. Be careful of the vinegar because it will evaporate if you boil with vinegar.

Pour hot pickle sauce in the jar until you fill 2/3rd of the jar. A couple hours later the juice from the cucumber makes it up to the top.


Leave it at room temperature for one day. On the next day, keep it in the refrigerator. Two days later, it will be fresh and crunchy pickles that are ready to eat.
BUT YOU CAN TASTE IT AND IF YOU WANT TO HAVE MORE STRONGER FLAVOR, YOU CAN ADD MORE BRAGGS AMINOS OR SALT (for salty) AND VINEGAR (for sour), at this point.
ENJOY IT!
