Two-Ingredient Marinated Pickles

Ingredients:

  • 1 jar of dill pickles (about 16 oz)

  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar (or any vinegar of your choice)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pickles: Open the jar of dill pickles and drain about half of the pickle juice.

  2. Add Vinegar: Pour in the red wine vinegar (or your choice of vinegar) into the jar of pickles, filling it up to the top.

  3. Seal and Shake: Close the lid tightly and give the jar a good shake to combine the vinegar and pickle juice. This helps the flavors mix.

  4. Marinate: Let the pickles marinate in the fridge for at least 12 hours for the best flavor. You can also keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days for a stronger taste.

  5. Serve: Enjoy your tangy, extra-flavored pickles!
