How to Make Dill Pickles One Jar At A Time

  1. Sterilize a quart-sized canning jar in boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove and place on a clean towel.
  2. Add 2-3 heads of fresh dill and 2-3 cloves of garlic to the bottom of the jar.
  3. Pack small pickling cucumbers into the jar, leaving 1 inch of headspace at the top.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, 1 cup of white vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of pickling salt.
  5. Bring the brine to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  6. Carefully pour the boiling brine over the cucumbers, leaving ¼ inch of headspace at the top.
  7. Remove any air bubbles by gently tapping the jar. Wipe the rim clean.
  8. Securely seal the jar with a new lid and ring.
  9. Let the jar cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the lid seals.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours before enjoying. Pickles will continue to develop flavor over time.
