I love them!!
I went to the farmers market and bought a 5lb bag of dilling cucumbers and a couple big bunches of dill. Then I got some canning jars from Canadian Tire and went to town!
What you need,
Dilling cucumbers (I used a 5lb bag)
DillGarlic (about 3 cloves per jar)
.
For the brine,
This recipe is enough for about 3 quarts. I tripled it, I had 7 quarts.
¼ cup pickling salt
2 cups white vinegar
3 cups water
Boil all the ingredients together in a large pot.
Pour the hot brine into each jar until it they are right full, to the very brim.
Put the lids on very tightly. The jars will seal within a couple hours.
Now the hard part, you have wait to open a jar until Christmas! They need time to pickle! Dad says you can open a jar at thanksgiving if you want, but they will be better if you wait!
Now I have the canning bug, I want to do more! Any ideas what I should try??

They look great JennyB!! I wish i was there to taste them!! Nothing like the smell of pickling to make you feel like a kid in the kitchen at home again!! Good job!!
ReplyDeletewhat? You have to wait until christmas!?!?!? I wouldn't be able to deal. All those delicious half-pickles staring at me.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, girl! You did a lot of them. I vote for trying some jam next. I adore homemade jams. I haven't made a single jar yet this year. I'm going to be incredibly sad when I use the last little bit of my stash from last year!
