  • ¼ tsp dill
  • clove garlic
  • ¼ cup pickling salt
  • ¼ cup vinegar
  • 4 cups water

Instructions

  • Wash whole cucumbers and pack into quart jars.
  • In each jar, add 1/4 tsp alum, 1/4 tsp dilll and a clove of garlic.
  • Combine the pickling salt, vinegar, and water. Bring to a boil and pour over cucumbers. Wipe lip of jars, heat canning flats and seal as usual.

Notes

I have found it works to slice cucumbers lengthwise and pack into jars.  These are good garlic dill pickles.
