Dill Pickle Mini Saltines


 I'm proud to say I did a thing today. It's not a really big thing, but it is a thing I don't normally do. I made a recipe of my own.  I know, I probably do it more often than I think I do but it felt like an achievement none the less. I guess there are recipes I have crafted before like the Awesomesauce Bruschetta or Potato Feta Wonder which,  to my surprise, needs to be put on the blog. I will have to do that the next time the kids are home. Anyway, here's this tasty treat I created and am sending to the youngest at boarding school. 


Ingredients

1 box mini Saltines
1 stick unsalted butter, cubed and melted
2 heaping Tablespoons Trader Joe's "Seasoning in a Pickle"
2 + Tablespoons pickle juice from a pickle jar
1 Tablespoon dried Dill
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
parchment paper

Process

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. 
2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 
3. Place mini Saltines in a large mixing bowl. 
4. In a measuring cup, melt the butter in the microwave (two bursts of 20 seconds)
5. Whisk into the melted butter the remaining ingredients. Mix well. 
6. Pour the butter mixture over the Saltines and stir and toss to mix. 
7. Transfer the well coated Saltines to the baking sheet and spread out to prevent sticking. 
8. Bake for 10 minutes and stir. 
9. Bake another 10 minutes and stir. 
10. Repeat step 9. 
11. Spread those crackers out once again, checking for dampness, and cook another 5 minutes. 
12. Completely cool before serving or storing.
