  • Looking for a super easy dill pickle recipe? This is one I've been using for our family for years. I love canning in the summer and working to fill up our large family food storage! I hope you find this helpful! Here are the directions below as well as a few links to canning equipment through my amazon links. Happy Canning!
    Super Easy Dill Pickles
    *Fresh Dill (sprigs and heads)
    *cucumbers
    *garlic cloves
    For the Brine:
    *8 1/2 cups of water
    *2 1/4 cups vinegar
    *1/2 cup of pickling salt
    Fill your water bath canner with water and set on the stove to start bringing to a boil.
    Also combine the ingredients for the brine into a large pot set on medium heat to use later when filling the jars.
    After cucumbers are washed begin slicing them lengthwise into spears. Place a garlic clove and dill in the bottom of each sanitized jar, then begin pack the cucumber spears tightly. once they are packed fill each one with brine leaving only 1/2 inch of head space at the top.
    Follow proper canning protocol by placing a new lid on top (that has been sitting in a warm pot on the stove) and screw on rings to finger tip tight.
    After all jars have been filled place them in your canner on your jar rack and lower them down into the water making sure there is enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Place lid on top and process for 15 minutes at a boil.
    Place jars on a towel on the countertop for 24 hours. Your lids should pop to sound they are done. If some don't seal then place them in the refrigerator.
    Let pickles sit for at least 2 weeks to ensure good flavor and ENJOY!
    **This recipe is one I personally use, it has not been approved or given out by an approved canning source. Proceed to use at your own risk. Do not eat if seals do not seal (unless placed directly in the fridge).

    You can also cover the bottom of the pot with lid rings, it works well

      I just put a dish towel at the bottom of the pot. Or a pot holder. The idea is to make sure u don't allow the jars to touch the bottom of the pot... blessings ❤️
      I've even seen 3 bricks covered in foil & placed in the bottom of the pot. Either way, u can save money by doing it this way & u can use it over & over again!

    Always cut 1/4 inch off the bloom end of the cucumber, then they will stay crisp. Otherwise if you don't, the bloom end releases an enzyme into the jar that makes them go limp/soft.

    first time pickling ever and followed this recipe's every step. so freaking good. not only was the explanation through and comprehensive from having no supplies to having batches of pickles, the flavor is insane. our first batch was pickled on June 13th and today is June 27th, the first time trying it after waiting the required 2 weeks. we were excited and this morning ate the first one and it was amazing we ate a bunch immediately and will repeat this recipe forever! thank you!!!

    Another way of doing it if you do not have a canning pot, you can cut a pop can in half and pierce holes in the can to allow the boiling water to escape the can. Then just put the jar on top of the pop can.

    Thank you for the video, how long would these be good for after canning? We did our first batch very similar to your recipe, but after more research for a bread and butter recipe, im seeing alot of places saying to use a minimum of 1:1 water vinegar mix. So that has me wondering how long these pickles will last since we did not match that ratio. Thanks for any input

  • @margaretgolemme5355

  • @anonymousenscriber1969
    @anonymousenscriber1969 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The girls in my garden club showed me to put a few towels in the bottom to lift it. I’ve been doing that way forever and haven’t had any issues. Nice video. Very to the point and informative. The most important part to any canning is keeping that jar top clean so we ain’t canning botulism. Glad you mentioned that to remind people. ❤️

    • @marc-andreservant201
      @marc-andreservant201 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Wiping the rim in this case is important mostly to ensure you have a good seal. Botulism is an issue for canning low-acid foods. Pickles have so much vinegar and salt that botulism is never a concern (as long as the vinegar and salt concentration is correct).

    I have jalepeno and banana pepper in my garden... Do you think it would be weird to add those in when the pickles? I'm also considering just jarring them all m together just as pickled peppers.

    I don't know if this is a dumb question but I have quart jars. Can you stack the cucumbers on top to fill my jar? First time canning pickles.
