Ingredients

12 Kirby pickles (approximately 4" long) (I quarter them into spears)

Lacking kirbys use firm smaller cucumbers

3/4 cup pickling spice

6 cloves of garlic (cut in half)

1 cup white vinegar

3/4 cup kosher salt

cold water (not chlorinated tastes yucky)

3 celery stalks (optional I leave it out most of the time)

2 roots of dill (approximately) or 1 tbl dill weed (not seed)

BIG glass jar (about a gallon size or mix liquid and a use a bunch of small jars)

Directions

wash pickles and celery and arrange in a jar in an upright position along with half of the pickling spice, cloves of garlic and half of the dill. Set aside.

Mix 6 cups of cold water with kosher salt and white vinegar.

Place in a large bowl and stir until salt is melted. The vinegar is what you need to adjust for flavor usually not the salt

Taste. Should be sort of sour but not really salty

Put water and salt mixture and vinegar into the jar until the mixture covers the pickles.

Add the balance of the pickling spice and the dill.

Seal and shake like crazy for a few seconds to blend all ingredients.

Let this stand on the counter at room temperature, uncovered, or with the top just sitting on the jar but not closed, for one full day (24 hours).

Check by tasting and if it is satisfactory, let it stand for an additional 2 days, uncovered. Adjust vinegar as necessary.

. When the pickles turn dark greenish, cover and refrigerate.

They will keep for 2 weeks in the frig... if they last that long.

For sour tomatoes use 12 small green tomatoes, use the same ingredients above except increase the salt to 1 cup

Tomatoes take longer to sour. Leave them on the counter for 2 days, uncovered, then cover and leave on the counter or outside for another 2 to 3 weeks.

Tomatoes are ready when they change color from light green to dull olive green.
