Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

3-4 lb pickling cucumbers
BRINE: (MAKES ABOUT 4 QUARTS PICKLES)
6 c water
2 c white vinegar
SPICES ARE PER QUART
1/8 tsp tumeric
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp alum or ball's pickle crisp granules
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes and/or
1-2 small chile peppers
1 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp whole peppercorns
1 Tbsp onion flakes, dehydrated
1 Tbsp pickling salt or kosher salt plus
1 tsp pickling salt or kosher salt
6 clove garlic, crushed -or-
1 Tbsp minced garlic
6 sprig(s) fresh dill or
1 Tbsp dill weed

Steps:

1. Prepare your jars by making sure they are clean and placing equal amounts of spices; pickling salt, peppercorns, turmeric, chili peppers, sugar, smashed garlic, onion, dill, alum/pickle crisp, and mustard seed in each jar.
2. In a pot, heat your water and vinegar. While it's heating, clean and slice cucumbers in quarters if desired. Once the salt water brine is boiling, add 1/2 c. brine to each of the jars. Let stand 30 min.
3. Place cucumbers in the jars. After brine has cooled, add brine to jars; insure cukes are completely covered with brine. Place the lid on top. Let sit on the counter for 3 days, shaking occasionally. Place in the fridge for up to 6 months.

Tips:

Choose the right cucumbers: Use fresh, firm cucumbers that are free of blemishes. English or Kirby cucumbers are good choices.
Use a clean jar: Make sure your jar is sterilized before you start pickling. You can do this by boiling it in water for 10 minutes.
Use a brine solution: The brine solution is what gives pickles their flavor. Use a ratio of 1 cup of vinegar to 2 cups of water. You can add other spices and herbs to the brine, such as garlic, dill, and peppercorns.
Pack the cucumbers tightly in the jar: Make sure the cucumbers are packed tightly in the jar so that they are completely submerged in the brine solution.
Let the pickles ferment: The fermentation process is what gives pickles their sour flavor. Let the pickles ferment for at least 2 weeks before you eat them.
