Servings 1 pint
Equipment
- 2 half pint canning jars, lids and rings
Ingredients
- 1/2 C vinegar
- 1/2 C water
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1 Tbsp pickling spice divided - 2 tsp + 2 tsp
- 2 cloves garlic smashed
- 2 sprigs of fresh dill or 2 tsp dry dill, divided
- 2 bunches green scallions one bunch per half pint jar
Instructions
- Trim the green onions to fit in your canning jars. You'll want the tops of the onions to come just 1/2" under the lip of the jar. Pack them tightly, but do not overpack.
- To each jar, add one clove of smashed garlic, 2 tsp pickling spice (for 1 Tbsp total - divided), and dill.
- In a small saucepan, combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt and heat just until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Push off the heat and allow to cool.
- Once the brine is cool, pour over the top of the onions in each jar. Discard any remaining brine (or use for more if you wish).
- If using crushed red pepper, add to the top at this time. Place the canning lid and ring on each jar and screw finger tip tight.
- Place jars in refrigerator and allow one day for the flavors to come together before enjoying. Use within 7 days.
