TANGY TARTAR SAUCE (MADE WITH DILL PICKLES, NOT SWEET)



Tangy Tartar Sauce (Made With Dill Pickles, Not Sweet) image

This tartar sauce is made with dill pickles, or dill pickle relish, instead of sweet pickle relish, as is common with many other recipes. The flavor is bright and fresh, without being overly sweet. I make it with Best Foods/Hellmans light mayo, so it is not too heavy of a condiment, and the kids can have a good portion without turning their healthy baked fish into an unhealthy meal.

Sliced, Spiced and Iced Refrigerator Sweet Dill Pickles image

Feeling a little lazy and not wanting to can, I was looking for a good recipe for chilled dill pickles, but couldn't quite find the exact recipe I wanted so I have adapted a recipe from Group Recipes and Epicurious to fit my needs. It's slightly sweet with the lovely taste of dill. I hope this fits your needs too! :) Cooking time is marinating time. Thank you for the inspiration coconutlime and Amelia Saltsman!

Time P7DT15m

Yield 4 pint jars, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs small pickling cucumbers, sliced 1/4-1/2-inch thick (or regular cucumbers-may cut into spears also)
4 garlic cloves, sliced
4 sprigs fresh dill (optional)
2 cups cold water
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dill seed
2 cups white distilled vinegar
1 cup sugar (or 1 1/2 cups depending on sweetness you desire)
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more or less depending on heat level you desire)
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorn (optional)

Steps:

  • Evenly divide the garlic, fresh dill and sliced cucumbers among four wide mouthed pint jars.
  • Before adding the mustard seed, red pepper flakes, peppercorns(if using) and dill seed, crush them slightly. You can use your hands, a mortar and pestle, or give then one quick whiz in the food processor(optional).
  • In a saucepan, mix together vinegar, water, sugar, red pepper flakes, celery seed, salt, mustard seed and dill seed. Heat to just dissolve sugar, then remove and let cool. Use a funnel to fill each jar with the cooled brining liquid. The spices may float to the bottom, so use a spoon to evenly divide anything that is leftover into the jars. Cap tightly and refrigerate at least one week before eating. Enjoy!
  • It was suggested you do this over a large bowl. The cucumbers start to float and displace liquid. Add the overflow back into the brining mixture before you fill up the next jar. No mess! :).

HOT, SWEET, DILL PICKLES



Hot, Sweet, Dill Pickles image

This is so easy to do and it is great to have to put on a relish tray on a holiday or at a party. You do have to plan ahead a little though.

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 gal jar of the whole large dill pickles
1 large bottle of tabasco sauce
5 lb white sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Drain the pickles, leaving the pickles in the original jar and saving the lid to reseal the jar with. Pour bottle of Tabasco sauce into jar with pickles. Dump the whole 5 lb. bag of white sugar over the Tabasco and pickles. Reseal the jar.
  • 2. This takes several days to complete. Keep turning the jar upside down, sideways, just keep moving the jar every time you go past it. I store it on the counter top during this phase. Eventually the sugar will dissolve and it will seep into the pickles along with the Tabasco sauce.
  • 3. Once the sugar has dissolved completely you can use the pickles. We cut them in chunks. Good to eat along with other cut vegetables, olives, cheese chunks, you get the idea. Enjoy!

SWEET DILL PICKLES RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Sweet Dill Pickles Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by cindygwest

Number Of Ingredients 9

Cucumbers
Fresh Dill
5 c White Vinegar
6 c White Sugar
3 T Canning Salt
5 t Celery Seed
5 t Turmeric
1 t Mustard Seed
Pickle Crisp

Steps:

  • Clean and quarter cucumbers lengthwise, and soak in hot water for 1 hour. Place vinegar, sugar, salt, celery seed, turmeric, and mustard seed in large pot and bring to low boil. Simmer until slightly thickened to a light syrup. Place a head of dill in bottom of sterilized jars. Pack cucumber spears into jars. Place more dill on top and fill with hot brine. Lid jars and hot water bath for 5 minutes. Let jars rest for 2 weeks minimum for full flavor.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: Smaller, pickling cucumbers are best for this recipe.
  • Use fresh dill: Fresh dill is essential for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the brine is strong enough: The brine should be salty enough to preserve the pickles.
  • Keep the pickles in a cool place: Once the pickles are made, they should be stored in a cool place, such as a refrigerator.
  • Be patient: It takes time for the pickles to develop their full flavor. Wait at least two weeks before eating them.

Conclusion:

Sweet dill pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these pickles all year long. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy snack, reach for a sweet dill pickle.
