How Much Vinegar is Added to Pickles?

Usually, four tablespoons of vinegar are added to a jar of pickles. But it all depends on the specific recipe for pickles.

We have a tested homemade pickle recipe for you. In a 500 g jar, place gherkins and add one tablespoon of salt, two tablespoons of sugar, four tablespoons of vinegar, half an onion, black peppercorns and a bunch of dill. Pour water and close the jar with the lid (it is very important that you have regular lids, not screw-on ones). Boil the jars of pickles for five minutes, just enough to seal the jar.
