Servings: 2 h 15 m 64 servings 10 cals
Ingredients
- 8 pounds 3 to 4 inch long pickling cucumbers
- 4 cups white vinegar
- 12 cups water
- ⅔ cup pickling salt
- 16 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
- 8 sprigs fresh dill weed
- 8 heads fresh dill weed
Steps
- Wash cucumbers, and place in the sink (I use the bathtub!) with cold water and lots of ice cubes. Soak in ice water for at least 2 hours but no more than 8 hours. Refresh ice as required. Sterilize 8 (1 quart) canning jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the vinegar, water, and pickling salt. Bring the brine to a rapid boil.
- In each jar, place 2 half-cloves of garlic, one head of dill, then enough cucumbers to fill the jar (about 1 pound). Then add 2 more garlic halves, and 1 sprig of dill. Fill jars with hot brine. Seal jars, making sure you have cleaned the jar's rims of any residue.
- Process sealed jars in a boiling water bath. Process quart jars for 15 minutes.
- Store pickles for a minimum of 8 weeks before eating. Refrigerate after opening. Pickles will keep for up to 2 years if stored in a cool dry place.
Notes
- I think I've made this recipe before but I can't remember.
