Kosher Style Dill Pickles --





INGREDIENTS


8 pounds 3 to 4 inch long pickling cucumbers


4 cups white vinegar


12 cups water


2/3 cup pickling salt


16 cloves garlic, peeled and halved


8 sprigs fresh dill weed


8 heads fresh dill weed








DIRECTIONS


Wash cucumbers, and place in the sink ( I use the bathtub!) with cold water and lots of ice cubes. Soak in ice water for at least 2 hours but no more than 8 hours. Refresh ice as required. Sterilize 8 (1 quart ) canning jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.


In a large pot over medium-high heat, combine the vinegar, water, and pickling salt. Bring the brine to a rapid boil.


In each jar, place 2 half-cloves of garlic, one head of dill, then enough cucumbers to fill the jar (about 1 pound). Then add 2 more garlic halves, and 1 sprig of dill. Fill jars with hot brine. Seal jars, making sure you have cleaned the jar's rims of any residue.


Process sealed jars in a boiling water bath. Process quart jars for 15 minutes.


Store pickles for a minimum of 8 weeks before eating. Refrigerate after opening. Pickles will keep for up to 2 years if stored in a cool dry place.

Texas Christmas Pickles - these are sweet and spicy.





INGREDIENTS


1 gallon dill pickles


1 (5 ounce) bottle hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco鈩?


5 cloves garlic, chopped


1 (5 pound) bag of white sugar








DIRECTIONS


Drain the brine from the pickles and discard. Slice pickles lengthwise, and return them to the jar. Pour in the hot pepper sauce, and add the garlic. Pour in about 1/3 of the sugar. Close the lid tightly. Gently tip the jar back and forth several times to allow everything to mix well. Leave out on the counter at room temperature for about 1 week.


During the week, add more sugar as the sugar in the jar dissolves. Gently tip the jar back and forth to mix. Continue the process throughout the week, until you have used up all of the sugar. When all of the sugar has been absorbed, pickles will be dark green and crispy. Transfer pickles to smaller sterile jars, and divide syrup between jars. Seal with lids and rings. Store in the refrigerator, and consume within one month.
