Pickles

This is the recipe I got from mom and she received it from someone else.  I am not sure who deserves the original credit.

Rinse and wash pickling cucumbers thoroughly.

Combine 3.5 c. vinegar, 6.5 c. water and 1/2 c. pickling salt and boil for 15 minutes

Sanitize jars

Pack jars with dill at the bottom, then cucumbers, more dill at the top, garlic clove (peeled) and 1 Tbsp. sugar. - all of this should be 1 inch below the top of the jar.

Cap with sterile lids.

Bring your canner water to a boil and then turn it off 15 minutes prior to immersing jars.  Let the jars sit in the water overnight, preferably outside.

The next morning remove you sealed pickle jars from the canner.

pippi wants to make pickles. I think I'm going to give these a go when life settles down a bit.
