MRS. FAST PICKLES

Mrs. Fast Pickles image

A delicious sweet pickle, this recipe comes from my mom who got it from a dear old friend of hers from church. The original recipe doesn't seem to have had a title because we've always just called them 'Mrs. Fast Pickles.' Mrs. Fast passed away this last year, but she will be lovingly remembered by my mother, who saw her as a surrogate grandmother, and by myself, who also sort of 'adopted' her as a grandmother.

Tips:

Choose the right cucumbers: Look for firm, unblemished cucumbers that are about 3 inches long. Larger cucumbers can be used, but they will need to be cut into smaller pieces.
Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will help you make clean, even cuts and prevent the cucumbers from bruising.
Slice the cucumbers thinly: This will help them pickle evenly and quickly. If you are using a mandoline, be careful not to slice the cucumbers too thinly, or they will become mushy.
Use a flavorful brine: The brine is what gives pickles their flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients. Common ingredients in pickle brines include vinegar, water, sugar, salt, spices, and herbs.
Let the pickles rest: After you have made the pickles, let them rest for at least 24 hours before eating them. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.

Conclusion:

Making quick pickles is a great way to add flavor and crunch to your favorite dishes. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make delicious pickles at home. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meal, try making a batch of quick pickles.
