This works for me:
Adirondack Dill Pickles or Veggies
From My Adirondack Way of Cooking by Muskybob
To 1 gal. glass jar, add:
14 small cukes, quartered
2 tsp. Pickling spice
2 smashed cloves of garlic
1 tsp. Ground red pepper or to taste
To a medium sauce pan add:
2 qts. water
2 cups white vinegar
¼ cup sugar
1/3 cup canning or kosher salt
Bring to boil then add to the gal. Jar
Top off with vinegar to within ¼ in. from the top if needed
Seal with cap & allow to cool
Note: I cover with saran wrap before adding cap for a better seal.
Place in refrigerator for at least 2 weeks
Share with family & friends
Enjoy!!!
PS: I’ve used the same recipe using 2 bunches of broccoli, 1 med. White onion, 1 small head of cauliflower and layer accordingly in place of the cukes.
MMMM, delicious!!!
Note: Jar & lid should be sterilized before beginning
