Ingredients

Brine proportions:

3 quarts water

1 quart vinegar

1 cup pickling salt

Additional Ingredients:

alum

mixed pickling spice

whole dill stalks

fresh garlic cloves; peeled and sliced

pickling cucumbers

whole dried chili peppers

Directions

Have quart canning jars sterilized and ready before proceeding, along with new jar lids and rings.

Heat water, vinegar and salt to a boil.

Place a whole stalk of dill with seeds and 1 teaspoon pickling spices into each quart jar, add sliced garlic and/or a few dried chilis and pack jar with washed, unpeeled small pickling cukes.

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon alum over each jar of pickles, pour hot brine over to cover.

Make more brine as needed to ensure that all cucumbers are completely covered in each jar.

Seal jars and process in water bath 10 minutes for quarts.

Start counting time after water comes back to a boil.

Remove from water bath after time is up and cool on a towel on the counter.

Check for proper seal after several hours(lid should be down and not 'flex' up when pressed in the middle).

Any jars not sealed will need to be refrigerated and used within a month.

Pickles will need several weeks to cure in the brine and become pickles.

Store jars in cool, dark place and refrigerate after opening.

Wow! I love the chili peppers idea!

You should be able to find the alum with the spices and also in the section with the canning supplies - pectin, jars, rings, lids etc. Yes, and the chilis make them like the 'zesty' dills that you can find in the stores. The more you add, the spicier they get after a while.
