Mr. Levine'S Dill Pickles
cucumbers
10 qts. hot water
garlic
1 C. coarse salt
flowers of dill
1/2 C. sugar
mixed pickling spices
1/2 C. vinegar
Sterilize canning jars and cover with rings. Place the cucumbers in the jars. To each jar add 1 to 2 cloves of garlic cut up, 1 t. mixed pickling spices and flowers of dill on top of the jar. Make a brine by dissolving all the ingredients in the second column in the hot water. The vinegar is added not for flavor, but because it is supposed to keep the pickles firm. Pour the brine over contents, filling jars up to the neck. Dip covers in boiling water and cover tightly. Keep in a cool dark place. Will be ready to eat in 3-4 weeks. These will keep all winter.
Dill Pickles II
9-10 quart jars for canning
1 peck very fresh cucumbers - not too large
30 cloves of garlic
fresh dill - enough to yield 30 flowers
pickling spices
coarse salt
In bottom of each jar (I run mine through dishwasher), put a clove garlic and a dill flower. Fit in tightly one upright row of cucumbers. Add a garlic and dill. Fill jar with cukes. Add a garlic and dill plus a scant teaspoon mixed pickling spices and a heaping tablespoon coarse salt. Fill jars with cold water from the tap. Close but not tightly. Allow to stand out overnight. Adjust water if necessary, seal tightly and store in a cool place. New dills will be ready to eat in about 8 to 10 days. For well done, wait three weeks. Yes, they will keep - unless you eat them all.
