Easy Dill Pickles

I got this from smittenkitchen except that I add water to the brine. This is very simple to make, vastly better than store-bought and requires no cooking. They're outstanding on a turkey and pepper jack cheese sandwich.

about 8 kirby or persian pickles (sliced into coins)

1 tbsp. kosher salt

1/2 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup purified water

handful of chopped fresh dill

few cloves of smashed garlic

big pinch of red chili pepper


Put everything in a quart size mason jar and shake. Let sit in the fridge at least 30 minutes. Shake some more. Leave in the fridge overnight to get the full pickling effect.
