Quick Pickles

A one, two, three, four

What kind of accordion man we got here? Yeah, how about a pickle? They'd knock you later, hosing off

Yay! It's Oktoberfest here in Savannah. Oktober is one of the best months out of the year

to come to Savannah. Enjoy and have a good time. Food is abundant

as well as all the beers and the ales. We have a lot of pubs here

We have breweries that make all these wonderful beers if you like beer

Aw. And, you know, there's nothing like Oktoberfest like a good pickle

That's true. Well, hey, Rob. Hi. How you doing? You know, there is nothing

like a good sweet pickle in October. That's what I've heard. So I'm just gonna clop over here

and show everybody how to make a wonderful quick pickle. So I'm gonna take a Kirby cucumber

and I love pickling, what they call just pickling cucumbers. They're smaller than a regular cucumber

like we grow in our gardens, and they're definitely shorter, stouter and they just delicious So this particular cucumber is a Kirby

Now I'm going to put our cucumber, and we're cutting it on the bias

so it won't look like just anybody's pickle. And I'm just going to put my cucumbers in my bowl

discarding the tips. So, just like that, and I'm going to crush two fat cloves of garlic

Okay, so those can go in the pot right now. Okay, I'm going to add one teaspoon of mustard seed, one teaspoon, uh-oh, that won't get in there

of, like, red peppercorns. And this is going to take my breath

You have to be very careful. With vinegars, if you stand over the pot and you inhale it

you will not quit coughing for a good hour. So you want to be careful

Now, the recipe calls for three teaspoons of sugar. But I think for y'all, I'm going to double it

because I like sugar, two teaspoons of salt, and we're going to let that come to a bowl

Okay? So we're just going to let that sugar dissolve, and while that's dissolving

I'm going to come down here, and I going to snip me off about four little leaves of dill and I just gonna snip it with the scissors

You know, it just depends on how much dill you like as to how much dill you put

Dill? Yeah, I like dill. You like dill? Oh, yeah. I do too, honey

All right, so I'm gonna pack my Kirby cucumbers. into this jar

and I'm going to pack them. Rob, you see how I'm packing it

I see that. Because they're going to shrink a little bit. So I'm going to pack them good

All right. So I'm going to use my little funnel here, and I'm going to just pour that hot liquid

All right, now I can take it and go like that. You know what

I'm gonna see if I can't hit that big old hole without a funnel

My granny and I made more pickles together than you could shake a stick at

Look at this. Look it down in there. Which cameraman can get in there

So our quick pickles are just that easy, y'all. Now, the recipe says you can eat these in 30 minutes

But I saying that I would put them in the refrigerator and I would rotate my jar just like that Every time I went to my refrigerator I turn that jar Fascinating ain it Pat

Yeah how about a pickle? Pickle's for everybody

Thank you

Look what your husband's gonna get. Oh, the garlic. The garlic. I love it

I'm out of pickles
