During the long winters our family loves to taste a little bit of our summers garden in the way of Dill Pickles
The best dill pickle recipe that I like is following
7 cups of water
3 cups of white vinegar
1/2 cup of canning salt
Boil the mixture.
Wash and clean cucumbers . ( this recipe will make approximately four quart jars of pickles)
in the bottom of each jar place two heads of dill and 1/4 tsp of alum
pack with cucumbers on top place two more dill heads if you want you can also add on cut up garlic clove.
once the vinegar mixture is boiling put it in the jars to 1/2 inch from the top.
boil in a cold pack canner or large pot for 40 minutes.
To make sweet pickles use the same mixture but add one cup of sugar to the mix and 1 tbsp of pickling spice. I place the pickling spice in a tea strainer and boil the mixture.
