Dill Pickles

Soak the cucumbers in cold water overnight

Ingredients needed:

Pure White Vinegar (not the pickling vinegar)
White Sugar
Coarse Salt
Garlic Cloves
Fresh Dill
Tap Water
Oh, and small cucumbers of course! lol

Edited to add: before you start to make the pickles, wash the jars and lids well, rinse and then put in oven at 225F for 10 minutes to sterilize (I place them on a cookie sheet). Let jars cool before attempting to start the pickling process.

In a half gallon jar, place cloves of garlic (to taste) and some dill....

Place cucumbers inside....

See how tight I can get them in there? lol

Add 3 tbsp. sugar and 3 tbsp coarse salt....

Add vinegar until half way up the jar....

Put more garlic and more dill on top....

Add cold tap water to the top and put lid on tight....

Shake every few minutes until salt and sugar have dissolved....

Place in dark cool place for about 4 to 6 weeks until they are ready. Enjoy!!
