directions

  • Bring brine solution of water, vinegar & salt to a boil, then turn off burner.
  • In an ice cream bucket, layer dill head(s), garlic chunks, onion slices and cucumbers. Small cucumbers can be thrown in whole. Larger cucumbers should be quartered.
  • Pour warm (not hot) brine over the cucumbers and place a plate on top to keep the cucumbers submerged. Cover bucker & put in frig. Pickles can be eaten after 5 day. Pickles will last in frig for 9 - 12 months.
  • NOTE: Other ingredients (such as hot peppers, whole black pepper corns, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, etc. ) can be added to the ice cream bucket for a different flavor sensation.

Questions & Replies

  1. Can these be made in glass jars instead of an ice cream bucket. I don't have refrigerator space for a bucket.
     
  2. Is it regular table salt or canning salt?

Reviews

  1. I just made these yesterday so I can't review the taste quite yet but a very simple recipe and they look delicious!! Will post an update in a few weeks!!<br/><br/>Update - I couldn't wait to try them and glad I didn't! (I could only wait a few days!!) These pickles were crisp and fresh, and not too sour or salty. Only changes I made were adding more garlic, since I love it, and adding about a tbsp of peppercorns and a few shakes of red pepper flakes into the mix.
