By Hester

Ingredients

• 1 cup white vinegar
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon pickling salt
• 2 tablespoons dill seed
• 3 cloves garlic
• 3 whole peppercorns

Preparation

Step 1

Fill each jar with washed cucumbers. Add dill seed, garlic cloves and peppercorns.

Combine vinegar, water and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

Pour boiling vinegar mixture over cucumbers to within 1/2 inch of rim.

Process 10 minutes for pints and 15 minutes for quarts.

I made 9 quarts; I used 8 cups vinegar and 8 cups of water and there was enough left over to do another quart.
