SUN KOSHER TYPE DILL PICKLES
This recipe sounds weird, but it works well and makes pickles you can keep for up to a year. If you want them to taste like spicy kosher dills, add a hot pepper to each jar. If you want them extra crispy, add a pea sized lump of alum to each jar, but it's not required. This recipe is especially good for home gardeners since you can make as little as one jar at a time, instead of waiting for a large amount of cucumbers at once. These sometimes seal in the sun, and sometimes not, but they will keep for a year in a pantry or a basement regardless.

Steps:
- Wash and slice cucumbers about 1/4 inch thick and place loosely into a quart canning jar. Don't pack them tight. Peel and slice your clove of garlic, too.
- Place the garlic, dill, salt, and vinegar into the jar with the cucumbers. If you're using the alum, put it into the jar now, too.
- Fill the jar to about 1/2 inch from the top with clean cool water. If your water at home is rusty or irony, use bottled water.
- Place a new canning flat lid on top, making sure that the rim of the jar is clean and no salt or dill is between the jar and the lid. Seal tight by hand.
- Shake the jar vigorously until the salt is dissolved.
- Write the date one week from the date you're making these on top of the lid with a magic marker.
- Place the jar in a sunny place and shake the jar once a day. When the date you wrote on the lid is reached, the pickles are ready.

Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: Look for small, firm cucumbers that are about 3 inches long. These will be the best for pickling.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will give your pickles the best flavor. Dill is a classic choice, but you can also use basil, oregano, or thyme.
- Make sure the brine is strong enough: The brine is what will preserve your pickles, so it's important to make sure it's strong enough. A good rule of thumb is to use 1 cup of vinegar and 1/2 cup of salt for every 2 cups of water.
- Let the pickles ferment: After you've made the brine, let the pickles ferment for at least 2 weeks. This will allow the flavors to develop and the pickles to become crispy.
- Store the pickles properly: Once the pickles are fermented, store them in a cool, dark place. They will keep for several months.
Conclusion:
Sun dill pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of pickles that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, give sun dill pickles a try!
