Ingredients

  • 4-quart basket pickling cucumbers, each about 4-in. long

  • 4 large garlic cloves

  • 1 bunch fresh dill

  • 3 cups white vinegar, at least 5% acid

  • 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar

  • 1/3 cup coarse pickling or kosher salt

Instructions

  • Scrub cucumbers under cool water. Thinly slice with a knife or use a food processor. You should have about 16 cups (4 L) sliced pickles. Place 1 clove of garlic in each of four clean 1-quart (1-L) preserving jars and divide dill among jars. Fill each with cucumber slices and pack down firmly.

  • In a stainless-steel or enamel-lined pan (vinegar may react with aluminum pans), heat vinegar, sugar and salt over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve. Pour hot vinegar mixture over pickles, dividing equally among jars. Pickling liquid will not cover pickles. Immediately cap each jar tightly with a new rubber sealer ring and cap.

  • Let sit at room temperature for 24 hours, turning jars upside down after 12 hours. Refrigerate for 1 week, turning jars upside down for 1 day, then right side up for the following day. Eventually, cucumbers will release enough liquid that pickles will be totally submerged and jars will no longer need to be turned. After 1 week, pickles are ready to eat. The flavor will continue to increase over the next few weeks. Refrigerated, pickles will keep for up to 1 year.
