Canned Pickles

Ingredients

    Ingredients

    • 8 cups cucumbers, sliced into large coins*
    • 4 cups apple cider vinegar
    • 4 cups water
    • 5 tablespoons pickling salt
    • 16 garlic cloves peeled (2 per pint jar, 8 per quart jar)**
    • Dash crushed red pepper per jar
    • 1 teaspoon dill seed per jar (8 teaspoons total)
    • Optional, 1⁄2 teaspoon black peppercorns per jar, 4 teaspoons total

    Directions

    1. Wash and slice the cucumbers.

    2. Make Brine: in a large saucepan, combine vinegar, water and salt. Bring to a simmer. Arrange jars on counter and dole out the spices to each. Pack the cucumber slices into the jars. You don’t want to damage the cukes, but you do want them packed tight.

    3. Pour the brine into the jar, leaving 1⁄2 inch headspace.

    4. Wipe rims, apply lids and rings and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

    5. When 10 minutes are up, promptly remove the jars from the pot and allow them to cool on the countertop. When the jars are cool, check the seals (by pushing/tapping on the lid, lids shouldn’t have any give when pushing down).

    6. Pickles can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
