I can think of no better contribution a cucumber can make than becoming a pickle! This recipe is another handwritten family cookbook classic from my step-grandmother and great aunt, Agnes (oh, these convoluted Southern families . It is important to make sure your vinegar is of a high quality--don't go generic. We usually use Heinz brand. Also, this recipe is for 7-8 quarts, so adjust accordingly based on how many cucumbers you have (or their size!).

7 -8 quarts (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 quart vinegar
3 quarts water
1 cup salt
2-3 dozen cucumbers
7-8 teaspoons dill seeds (or 7-8 pinches fresh dill)
7-8 cloves garlic (if cloves are small, 14-16)

Directions

1
Wash and pack your cucumbers in clean jars.
2
Add 1 tsp dill seed or a pinch of fresh dill and one clove of garlic (if cloves are small, use 2) per quart.
3
Combine vinegar, water and salt and bring to a boil.
4
Pour or ladle liquid mixture into jars, then seal and store them for 21 days.
5
Put in refrigerator and let chill at least 24 hours before opening.

This was my first attempt at making pickles. I cut the recipe in half and ended up with 3 quarts. The first I made exactly according to the recipe, the second I made with a few shakes of crushed red pepper and minced garlic instead of a whole garlic clove, and the third I added a roasted red pepper to. They all turned out great with our favorite being the second jar with the crushed red pepper. We liked the spice, but agree with some other reviews saying that there is a bit too much salt! I will definitely be using this recipe again. Thank you!

made 4 qts. Way too salty, think it should only be 1/2 cup salt.

We made this recipe with Wal-Mart generic vinegar, used fresh dill (2 sprigs per jar), and the chopped garlic in a jar (can be found in most produce sections.) The pickles made my hubby happy, and he's a huge garlic critic. Would higly recommend this recipe.

These pickle are great. A friend's daughter, 16, is a pickle lover I am always buying her those huge pickles out of the jar, she loves these. Only thing I did different was to add red pepper flakes for a little zip, will definately make these again.
