How to Make Dilly Pickles

  1. Wash and sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Combine cucumbers, dill, garlic, and peppercorns in the sterilized jars, leaving about 1 inch of headspace at the top.
  3. In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until salt and sugar are completely dissolved.
  4. Carefully pour the hot brine over the cucumbers in the jars, leaving that 1-inch headspace.
  5. Remove any air bubbles by gently running a non-metallic utensil down the sides of the jars.
  6. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, and seal with lids and rings. Tighten rings fingertip tight.
  7. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
  8. Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying ‘pop’ as the jars seal. Check to make sure all jars have sealed.
  9. Store in a cool, dark place for at least 2-3 weeks before enjoying. The flavor will deepen over time!
