This recipe is for making Dill Pickles. I’ve scaled down the amounts, because I believe there are people like me who only want to make small quantities of certain food items, not gallons.
Follow this and combine it with Arthur Schwartz’s Homemade Kosher Dill Pickles, brought to you by David Lebovitz, and you’ll have your kitchen smelling like a pickle in 5 minutes, tops.


- 3 tbsp mustard seed
- 3 tbsp whole allspice
- 3 tsp coriander
- 11/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (more for hotter pickles)
- 1 1/2 cinnamon sticks
- Combine all ingredients and mix well. Divide between the three jars in This Week’s Experiment: Pickles, and follow the rest of the recipe.
- Enjoy those pickles with BBQ Tofu, or Portabello Mushroom Burgers.
