How to Make My Famous Dill Pickles

  1. Sterilize 7 (pint-sized) canning jars and lids in boiling water for 10 minutes. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cucumbers, dill, garlic, and peppercorns.
  3. Pack the cucumber mixture tightly into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top.
  4. In a separate saucepan, combine the water, vinegar, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved.
  5. Carefully pour the boiling brine over the cucumbers in the jars, leaving that 1/4 inch headspace.
  6. Remove any air bubbles by gently running a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jars.
  7. Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth.
  8. Place the lids and rings on the jars, tightening them fingertip tight.
  9. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
  10. Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal. Check the seals by pressing down on the center of each lid – if it doesn't flex, it's sealed!
  11. Once completely cool, check seals again and store in a cool, dark place. Enjoy your delicious homemade dill pickles!
