Cómo preparar Grandma's Dill Pickles
- Combine cucumbers, salt, and water in a large bowl. Let stand for 2-4 hours, then drain completely.
- In a large pot, combine vinegar, water, dill seeds, dill heads, garlic cloves, mustard seeds, and pickling salt. Bring to a boil, stirring until salt is dissolved.
- Pack cucumbers tightly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
- Pour hot brine over cucumbers, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
- Remove air bubbles by running a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jar.
- Wipe jar rims clean and seal with lids.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust based on altitude – consult your canning guide).
- Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ as the jars seal.
- Let pickles cure in a cool, dark place for at least 2 weeks before enjoying. The longer they sit, the more flavorful they become!
