Directions:
- Wash cucumbers in cold water then dry on rack or wipe dry.
- Place half the pickle spices, garlic and a layer of dill in a 5 gallon crock or jar.
- Fill the container with cucumbers to within 3-4 inches from top.
- Place a layer of dill and remaining spices and garlic on top of cucumbers.
- Thoroughly mix the vinegar, salt and water and pour over the cucumbers.
- Cover with a heavy plate (weigh it down with a jar of water) so that the cucumbers stay under the brine.
- Cover loosely with a towel.
- Keep pickles at room temperature and remove scum daily when it forms, (3-5 days).
- Do not stir pickles but make sure they are always covered with brine.
- If necessary make additional brine using original recipe.
- In about 3 weeks the cucumbers should be olive green and have a desirable flavor.
- Any white spots will disappear in processing.
- Strain the brine before using as it is preferred for the added flavor.
- Pack pickles firmly into clean, hot quart jars.
- Add several pieces of dill and a clove or two of garlic to each jar, then cover with boiling brine to 1/2 inch from top.
- Adjust lids and process 15 minutes in water bath, beginning the time as soon as the jars are in the actively boiling water.
- Cloudiness of brine is typical when the original brine is used as the covering liquid.
