Welcome back to the kitchen! Come along with me today as I preserve cucumbers from the garden! I'm going to show you a simple recipe to ferment your pickles & then we're going to water bath can them for long term storage!

What you'll need: (yields 6-7 quart jars)
10 lbs of 4-6 inch cucumbers
3/4 cup mixed pickling spice
2-3 bunches of fresh dill or 3 TBS dried dill
1-1/2 cups pickling salt
8 quarts cold water
2 cups vinegar (5% acidity)
6 cloves garlic
Pickle fresh granules (optional)
Water bath canner
Canning tools, sterilized quart jars, lids & rings
Large jar to ferment your pickles in
Fermenting weights

How to make them:
1. Wash your cucumbers & remove the blossom ends.
2. Place 1/2 the pickling spice & 1/2 of the dill in the bottom of your large pickle jar.
3. Add cucumbers to within 4 inches from the top.
5. Combine salt, vinegar & water. Stir well until salt dissolves.
6. Pour brine over cucumbers & sprinkle remaining pickling spice, dill & garlic on top.
7. Add the fermenting weights, ensuring that all cucumbers are submerged under the brine.
8. Store pickle jar at room temperature (70-75 degrees). Allow the pickles to ferment on the counter until they have an even color throughout. I allowed mine to ferment for 7 days.
9. Remove the pickles from the brine & strain the brine discarding the spices, dill & garlic. You can leave the pickles whole, but I like to cut them in half so that I can fit more into each jar.
10. Bring brine to a boil in a large pot.
11. Pack pickles into hot jars. Add 1/4 tsp pickle fresh granules (optional) to each jar.
12. Ladle hot brine over top the pickles leaving 1 inch head space. Remove air bubbles & clean the rims of your jars before adding the lids & rings finger tight.
13. Lower jars into a simmering water bath canner, ensuring the water is at least 1 inch above the jars. Jars must be completely submerged.
14. Adjust heat to medium/high. Once its at a rapid boil, process the quart jars for 15 minutes.
15. Once the processing time is done, turn off the heat, remove the lid & allow to sit for 5 minutes before removing jars from the canner. Then remove jars & allow them to cool on the counter for at least 12 hrs before removing the rings.
