Cómo preparar Mrs Fast Pickles
- **Prepare the Brine:** In a large pot, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons pickling salt, and 1 teaspoon mustard seeds. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
- **Set Aside:** Remove the brine from the heat and let it cool completely.
- **Prepare the Cucumbers:** Wash and slice 7 pounds of pickling cucumbers into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place them in a large bowl.
- **Salt the Cucumbers:** Sprinkle 1 scant cup of pickling salt evenly over the cucumber slices. Add enough boiling water to completely cover them. Let stand for 2 hours. This helps to draw out excess moisture.
- **Drain and Rinse:** After 2 hours, drain the cucumbers thoroughly in a colander and rinse under cool water. Drain again, pressing out excess water.
- **Pack the Jars:** Pack the drained cucumber slices tightly into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace at the top. Add a few sprigs of fresh dill to each jar (about 1-2 sprigs per jar).
- **Pour in the Brine:** Carefully pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers in the jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
- **Process in a Canner:** Place the jars in a boiling water canner, ensuring they're covered by at least 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then process for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
- **Cool and Store:** Turn off the heat and let the jars sit undisturbed in the canner for 20 minutes. Remove jars and let cool completely. Check for seals (lids should not flex). Store in a cool, dark place.
