directions

  • Layer the cucumbers and dill heads with garlic.
  • Pour the remaining ingredients over all and cover with cold, fresh water, filtered if you can.
  • Cover with cheesecloth.
  • Weigh down the pickles with a plate and jar of water. Cover with a clean tea towel.
  • Check after 72 hours, remove any scum that may have formed and wash cheesecloth, plate and jar of water and replace them.
  • Check after another 72 hours and see if they are done enough for you. If so, pack into sterile jars and cover with the brine.
  • Store in the refrigerator to slow the fermentation process.
  • I make these in a big dough bucket and pack into gallon jars and some plastic containers to give as gifts.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hello Zaars and Zaarinas! Thank all of you who tried my 'memory' recipes and left such nice reviews and for taking such lovely pictures. I do appreciate your comments. My pet peeves about cooking are recipe reviews where the reviewer says, "I made the recipe exactly as written EXCEPT yada yada yada" and I don't like suggestive names or titles such as, "Better Than Sex". I don't know why anyone would eat anything that is 'sinful' or 'decadent' since decadent is described as being decaying. Also, PAP-RI-KA only has 3 syllables. VINAIGRETTE is pronounced vin-a-grette, not vinager-ette. It's mas-car-pone not mars-ca-pone. And I don't like cutesy adult baby talk,,, or metro chic names like delish, nutrish, yummo, sammy, BAM! Oh well, I make as many, or more, faux pas as the next guy especially in ASL! Things that crack me up are: DH Fred from youtube.com Nick, my nephew Fish and Poi song as performed by PoiBoi My possum recipe per the song on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVvL4-srt6U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpbyM8k7e2Q wow this is good! my Doggie Little Yellow Petey Bird on youtube My BFF's. all of them and there are so many! and my little Sister Mary Beth. She has MS and Lupus and a great attitude. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
