Dill Pickles YUMMY!

Here is my Dill pickles. They did turn out great.

I pick my pickles pretty small, a few snuck by me and got a little big.

Here is the recipe: for each jar

1/8 tsp. granulated alum

1 clove of garlic

1 small hot pepper

2 heads of fresh dill

20-25 - 4 inch cukes, blossom removed, washed and soaked overnight with 1/3 C pickling or canning salt. Rinse and drain cukes and pat dry, stuff into quart jars.

for the Brine:

1 C pickling salt

12 C water

4 C vinegar

Bring to a boil.

Pour over packed Cukes. with 1/2" head space. Process 10 min in Boil Water Bath. BWB.

Let them sit a month before you eat. If you can wait that long. Happy Eating!
