How to Make Sun Kosher Type Dill Pickles

  1. Wash and scrub cucumbers thoroughly. Trim off blossom ends.
  2. Pack cucumbers tightly into clean, sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon alum (optional, for extra crispness) and 1-2 slices of hot pepper (optional, for spiciness) to each jar.
  4. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup water, 1/4 cup pickling salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons dill seeds, and 4-5 dill sprigs per jar.
  5. Bring the brine to a boil, stirring until salt and sugar dissolve.
  6. Carefully pour the hot brine over the cucumbers in each jar, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  7. Remove air bubbles by gently tapping the jars or using a non-metallic utensil.
  8. Wipe jar rims clean and seal with lids.
  9. Place jars in a sunny location for a few weeks to help with fermentation (or store in a cool, dark pantry).
  10. Check seals regularly. If any aren't sealed, refrigerate immediately.
