Dill Pickles

from the kitchen of Geneal W.

It's a very simple recipe with not much specifics. I usually put a lot of dried dill sprigs in the jar and a little clove of garlic.  You can always add more garlic, if you like that flavor.  I like a strong dill flavor.

Put dill weed and clove garlic in each wide mouthed jar.  Put cucumbers in jars.

Stand jars in hot water. 

Mix:

8 cups water

2 cups vinegar

1/2 cup salt

Boil. 

Pour boiling liquid in cucumber jars until almost full.  (Leave 1/2 inch from top of jar).  

Place hot lids and bands on to seal.  Pour more hot water to cover jars and boil about 10 minutes.

~6 quarts.
