Half Sour Dills
Ingredients
- 12 pickling cukes
- 1 large clove garlic
- 6-8 sprigs fresh dill
- 1/4 tsp dill seeds - optional
- 1 tsp pickling spices
- 1/4 cup pickling salt
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 2 1/2 quart water
Instructions
Pack cukes, dill and spices into crock or other container that will allow 2 inches between the cukes and top of container. Bring salt, vinegar and water to a boil and boil 2 minutes. Pour brine over cukes. Weigh down with plate. Brine should be 1" above cukes. Keep at room temperature overnight then refrigerate. I usually let the crock sit on my counter until the cukes are pickled enough than jar up.
