How to Make Dilly Pickles
- Wash and sterilize jars and lids in boiling water for at least 10 minutes.
- Combine cucumbers, dill, garlic, and peppercorns in the sterilized jars, leaving about 1 inch of headspace at the top.
- In a saucepan, combine vinegar, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until salt and sugar are completely dissolved.
- Carefully pour the hot brine over the cucumbers in the jars, leaving that 1-inch headspace.
- Remove any air bubbles by gently running a non-metallic utensil down the sides of the jars.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, and seal with lids and rings. Tighten rings fingertip tight.
- Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
- 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.
- Store in a cool, dark place for at least 2-3 weeks before enjoying. The flavor will deepen over time!
