Texas Pickles Recipes

LAZY HOUSEWIFE PICKLES

Steps:

• Divide onion slices and cucumbers into jars.
• Stir sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, and salt in a bowl until sugar and salt have dissolved; pour the pickling syrup over the onion and cucumber slices. Cover jars with lids and refrigerate for 1 week before opening.

TEXAS CHRISTMAS PICKLES

Steps:

• Drain the brine from the pickles and discard. Slice pickles lengthwise, and return them to the jar. Pour in the hot pepper sauce, and add the garlic. Pour in about 1/3 of the sugar. Close the lid tightly. Gently tip the jar back and forth several times to allow everything to mix well. Leave out on the counter at room temperature for about 1 week.
• During the week, add more sugar as the sugar in the jar dissolves. Gently tip the jar back and forth to mix. Continue the process throughout the week, until you have used up all of the sugar. When all of the sugar has been absorbed, pickles will be dark green and crispy. Transfer pickles to smaller sterile jars, and divide syrup between jars. Seal with lids and rings. Store in the refrigerator, and consume within one month.

AIR FRYER FRIED PICKLES

Steps:

• Drain the liquid from the pickles and pat dry with a paper towel. Let them on a dry paper towel, in a single layer, for 5-10 minutes.
