HOMEMADE SPICY GARLIC DILL PICKLES RECIPE

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and stir to mix.
• Prepare your jars and lids for canning. I run my jars through the dishwasher to sterilize and remove them while still warm. Add the lids to a small pot of simmering boiled water to pull from for the canning process.
• In a large stock pot to avoid contaminationbring the vinegars, water and salt to a simmer.
• To each sterilized jar add: 2-3 tablespoons of pickling spice, 2-3 fronds and stalks of dried dill weed, 2-3 Thai red peppers depending on your preference and 4-5 whole garlic cloves to each jar. Pack the whole or sliced cucumbers into the jars so they are tight but aren't damaged in the process. The cucumbers should sit below the neck of the jar. Trim the cucumbers if they're poking up too high.
• Pour the brine into the jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace, just covering the cucumbers.
• Wipe the rims of the jars and use tongs to place the lids and rings (that have been sterilized in simmering water) on top of the jars. To avoid contamination, do not touch the lids where they sit on the jars with your fingers.
• Process in a canner water bath of boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the pot and allow them to cool on a dishtowel on the counter. As the jars cool you will hear them pop as they seal. Sealed jars should feel solid when tapped and be concave in shape.
• Store in a dry cool place. Pickles will be ready to try in about 7-10 days but get even better over time. They can be stored for up to 1 year.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of Natural Pickle Crisp to each jar, if desired. With a clean damp towel, wipe the rim and fit with a hot lid. Screw on the metal ring just until the point of resistance is met. Process the jars in a hot-water bath for 15 minutes.

SWEET AND SPICY DILL PICKLES RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• (This includes directions for processing in a boiling water bath, which is recommended for safe storage. I personally skip this part, but ensure that my jars are fresh from the dishwasher and very hot. I seldom have a jar that does not seal, and only make enough to last the year. But if you are planning on storing your jars for an extended period, a boiling water bath is recommended.) Place jars into dishwasher and run them on a regular cycle. Meanwhile, fill the canner about 1/3 full of water and start heating. Put all the brine ingredients into a large pot and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and remove from heat; place the jar seals into the hot water and let them sit until you are ready to use them. (I use the Bernardin Snap Seals and lids). When the jars are ready, remove them from the dishwasher one at a time. Place a head of dill, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 slice of jalapeno and 1 tsp. pickling spice into the bottom of the jar. Fill the jar tightly with cucumbers, strategically placing them for maximum fit. Place on top of the cucumbers 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tsp. of pickling spice, 2 slices of jalapeno and lastly one more head of dill. Using a glass measure or a soup ladle, carefully pour the hot brine into the jar to within a couple of millimeters of the top; place the seal and then screw the lid on tightly. Move on to the next jar and repeat until all the jars are full and sealed. Place each jar into the canner- you may need to add more hot water to ensure that all jars are covered by at least one inch of water. Cover canner and bring water to full rolling boil; once the water is boiling process for 15 minutes. When processing time is complete, remove canner lid, wait 5 minutes, then carefully remove jars without tilting and place them upright on a protected work surface. Cool upright, undisturbed for 24 hours, then move them to a cupboard or cool, dark room for storage. The pickles will be ready to eat in 4 weeks, but are even better if you can leave them for 6 weeks. Enjoy!
