Garlic Dill Pickles




Who loves a good and crunchy dill pickle? Well... the only thing better is a good and crunchy homemade garlic dill pickle. These babies are for sure a crowd pleaser. I brought a jar to work and they didn't last but an hour or two. 

If you love a good pickle. I highly recommend making your own. You won't regret it!


Ingredients:

  • 2 quarts of water
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • ½ cup sea salt
  • About 3 to 4 pounds of cucumbers - small pickling cukes are best
  • 8 large heads of dill, or more if they are smaller
  • 8 medium garlic cloves
  • about 20 black peppercorns



  • Instructions:
    Bring your water, vinegar, and sea salt to a boil
    While you wait, slice cucumbers into quarters long ways
    Take the slices plus the dill, garlic, and peppercorns and place them into the jars
    Once the liquid has come to a boil, poor it into the jars filling to the top (be careful as this is very hot)!
    Seal the jars and leave on the counter for two days. The lids will seal as the temperature drops.
    After the second day place in the refrigerator for two more days and then you are ready to enjoy your homemade pickles. 
    They will keep for several months.
