What You Need To Make Keto Pickles

• Cucumbers – see below to find out more about the best cucumbers to use
• A mandolin – you’re going to be doing a LOT of slicing. Using a mandolin makes this process quick and easy!
• So Nourished White sugar substitute
• White vinegar
• Mustard seeds
• Pot
• Whisk
• Containers to store your pickles. I LOVE these deli containers – they’re reusable, stackable, and dishwasher safe. Genius!

What Kind Of Cucumbers Do You Need for Keto Pickles?

You can really use any kind of cucumber, but the BEST pickling cucumbers are small with few seeds.

You can often buy baby English cucumbers in the grocery store and these work great! Or, in early summer, get to a farmer’s market and buy small pickling cucumbers. They’re my first choice for making this keto pickle recipe.

What you don’t want to use are the waxy cucumbers that are so cheap in the grocery store. The seeds are big and tough and hard to chew, and you’d have to peel them. Stick to smaller cucs with few seeds.

How To Make Keto Pickles

1. Trim the knobby ends of the cucumbers and use your mandolin to slice them into 1/8-inch thick rounds.
2. Combine water, white sugar substitute, and white vinegar in a pot on the stove over medium heat and heat it until the sugar substitute has dissolved.
3. Add the mustard seeds.
4. Let the mixture cool, then add the cucumbers and refrigerate.

Chef Jenn’s Tips

• This is a basic recipe that you can jazz up! Add sliced jalapenos for spicy sweet n’ tangy pickles, add some celery or caraway seeds for extra crunch, or add some thinly sliced sweet onion if you don’t mind a few extra carbs.
• Don’t cook the cucumber! You don’t need to boil the cucumber slices! You want them to have that distinctive crunch!
• Package the cucumber with enough pickling liquid to cover it.
• Keep your keto pickles in the fridge for up to a month.
• You can eat these pickles right away, but they taste best after a few days in the fridge.
