Artisanal Pickles from Adventure Time Recipe (with Video)

Brine Preparation
1. Make a brine using equal parts water and plain white vinegar, adding 25 grams of salt and 100 grams of plain white sugar, and whisk to combine.
Setting up the Sous Vide
1. Fill a large bowl with about 8-9 quarts of water and then add your sous vide into the water and set to 140°F.
Preparing the First Jar
1. Take out two bell jars with lids.
2. In one jar add half of your garlic, 2-3 bay leaves, a few bunches of fresh dill and a sprinkling each of allspice berries, mustard seeds, whole cloves, whole peppercorns, and red pepper flakes.
3. Add halved cucumbers to that jar along with the rest of your garlic and cover with brine, leaving 1cm of headroom at the top of the jar.
4. Seal and place into the sous vide bath for 2 ½ hours.
5. After 2 ½ hours, pull from the sous vide and let completely cool to room temperature before putting in the fridge overnight.
Preparing the Second Jar
1. In the other jar, add all of the same things but do not put into sous vide bath, and crush the garlic a little bit before adding.
2. Also for the brine use a salt and water (100g salt and 2 cups of water) only brine with filtered water.
3. Let the second jar sit for 3-7 days, room temperature, burping once a day to let the gas escape.
