Easy Homemade Dill Pickles
Author: Laura
Serves: 6 pints
- About 12 cucumbers
- Per jar:
- 1 Dill Flower (a full, big one)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 minced clove of fresh garlic
- Liquid mixture for 6 pint jars:
- 2¼ cups white vinegar
- 2¼ cups water
- 3 Tablespoons sea salt
- Wash and sterilize 6 pint-sized jars.
- Place the following into the bottom of each prepared jar:
- Dill Flower (a full, big one) plus ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 minced clove of fresh garlic
- Wash 12-ish medium-sized cucumbers, then cut them into spears or slices. Pack them into each jar. (I averaged about 2 cucumbers per pint jar.)
- Stir the vinegar, water, and sea salt together on the stove over medium heat for 1-2 minutes or until the salt dissolves. (Do not boil the mixture.)
- Pour the hot liquids into each jar, immersing the cucumbers, allowing ½ inch of space at the top.
- Secure lids and rings, then place in boiling water bath for 5 minutes.
- Remove jars and be sure they seal properly.
