Sabroso Saturday: Homemade Pickles (Pepinillos)

It’s Sabroso Saturday (Translation: Tasty Saturday)! The day when we share recipes that have helped us stretch our budget, our imagination and our taste buds, without sacrificing our health.

********************

I learned how to make homemade pepinillos/pickles when Karl, my teen, was young. Thank goodness I did, because not only does he love them but so does Andrew, my ten year old! Word to the wise, once you have homemade pickles you’ll never buy store brought!

I got the recipe from a book I received at the Food Market almost 16 years ago. As you can see by the picture below it’s been through alot – don’t judge me ok  😉

It’s simple and I’m sure it’ll get a lot of use during your backyard BBQs (Hamburgers and pickles? YUM!). Just remember, you have to leave it in the fridge FIVE days so plan ahead!

¡Buen provecho!
