Spicy Garlic Dill Pickles Recipes

Steps:

• Inspect a quart-sized canning jar for cracks. Immerse in simmering water until brine is ready. Wash a new, unused lid and ring in warm soapy water.
• Combine water, vinegar, habanero peppers, garlic, serrano pepper, sugar, salt, peppercorns, pickling spice, and red pepper flakes in a pot and bring to a simmer.
• Remove pot from the burner and let the liquid cool to a warm enough temperature to handle, but not to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes; you want the heat so it will soak into the veggies.
• Place cucumbers and dill in the canning jar. Ladle the warm brine into the jar until cucumbers are covered and brine is near the top of the jar. Let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 more minutes. Seal jar and place in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days before eating.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, water, vinegar, chopped dill, sugar, garlic, salt, pickling spice, dill seed, and red pepper flakes. Stir, and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours, until the sugar and salt dissolve.
• Remove the cucumbers to three 1 1/2 pint wide mouth jars, placing 4 cucumbers into each jar. Ladle in the liquid from the bowl to cover. Place a sprig of fresh dill into each jar, and seal with lids. Refrigerate for 10 days before eating. Use within 1 month.

Steps:

• Soak cucumbers overnight in cold water. Drain and place into quart-sized sterilized Mason jars so that they are firmly packed but not smashed (Recipe estimate is for 6 cucumbers per jar, but naturally this will vary depending on the size of your cucumbers).
• In large pan, boil vinegar, water and pickling salt.
• Pour over cucumbers in the jars.
• Per jar add 2 or 3 cloves garlic, dill, 1/8 teaspoon alum, and 2 peppers.
• Store in a cool dark place (I use my pantry). Ready in about 30 days.

Steps:

• Place the cucumbers in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Sterilize 6 pint-sized jars and 6 lids in a hot water bath according to the manufacturer's instructions. Divide the dill, onions, garlic, peppers and peppercorns among the jars. Drain the cucumbers and tightly pack into the jars.
• Bring a large pot or canner of water to a boil.
• In a medium pot, combine the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar, and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes to dissolve the salt and sugar.
• Pour the hot liquid over the cucumbers, leaving a 1/2-inch of headspace at the top of each jar. Tap the jars on the counter to dispel any air bubbles, cover with lids and rings, and seal tightly. Place the jars in the pot or canner of boiling water and process for 15 minutes. Remove carefully with tongs and when cool, store in a cool, dry place for at least 3 weeks before opening.

Steps:

• Wash cucumbers, drain.
• Cut cucumbers lengthwise into quarters.
• Bring water, vinegar and salt to a boil.
• Place 1 dried pepper, 1 clove garlic and 1 sprig dill into each hot sterilized jar.
• Pack cucumbers tightly into jars.
• Ladle hot liquid over cucumbers, leaving 1/4 inch head space (This should cover the cucumbers).
• Remove air bubbles by running a knife down into the jars.
• Put lids and rings on jars.
• Process for 15 minutes in a boiling water canner.
• Remove jars to a towel on a counter.
• The lids should be sealed (you won't be able to"pop" the lids).
• Allow to sit for at least 6-8 weeks before opening.
