Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1. scrub cucumbers ( I put mine in a cooler filled with water, and I used a bottle bush attached to my drill, saved about 3 hours) soak overnight in ice water
  • 2. cut dill weed ( 1 1/2" lengths) Peel and quarter garlic
  • 3. sterilize 1 qt jars (I use Bernardin jars with snap lids)
  • 4. bring water, vinegar, salt, and sugar to a slow rolling boil(this is the brine)
  • 5. take a four finger pinch of dill weed (enough to cover the bottom of the jar) 5-6 pieces of garlic, 4-5 whole allspice and put all into each jar.
  • 6. pack the cukes into the jars (best when the jars are still hot) using different sizes to fill the gaps ( do not pack tight, but rather pack them snug)
  • 7. put the snap lids on ( I soak them in warm water to soften the rubber seal) and hand tighten
  • 8. place the jars into a boiling water bath and process for 15min (start the timer when the water bath starts to boil again)
  • 9. let jars cool and make sure the snap lids have sealed ( they snap down when sealed) if the seal did not work on a jar...put them in the fridge...and eat them when ever you want.
