OLD-FASHIONED GARLIC DILL PICKLES
When I was raising my big family, I'd make dill pickles toward the end of the growing season for winter's keeping. Crushed red pepper flakes gives them a bit of bite.- Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

Steps:
- Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl and stir to mix.
- Prepare your jars and lids for canning. I run my jars through the dishwasher to sterilize and remove them while still warm. Add the lids to a small pot of simmering boiled water to pull from for the canning process.
- In a large stock pot to avoid contaminationbring the vinegars, water and salt to a simmer.
- To each sterilized jar add: 2-3 tablespoons of pickling spice, 2-3 fronds and stalks of dried dill weed, 2-3 Thai red peppers depending on your preference and 4-5 whole garlic cloves to each jar. Pack the whole or sliced cucumbers into the jars so they are tight but aren't damaged in the process. The cucumbers should sit below the neck of the jar. Trim the cucumbers if they're poking up too high.
- Pour the brine into the jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace, just covering the cucumbers.
- Wipe the rims of the jars and use tongs to place the lids and rings (that have been sterilized in simmering water) on top of the jars. To avoid contamination, do not touch the lids where they sit on the jars with your fingers.
- Process in a canner water bath of boiling water for 10 minutes. Remove the jars from the pot and allow them to cool on a dishtowel on the counter. As the jars cool you will hear them pop as they seal. Sealed jars should feel solid when tapped and be concave in shape.
- Store in a dry cool place. Pickles will be ready to try in about 7-10 days but get even better over time. They can be stored for up to 1 year.

REFRIGERATOR DILL PICKLES
These pickles taste so fresh and have just the right amount of dill and garlic. They taste great along-side a hotdog on a bun. They also taste great alone as a healthy snack. The pickles should be good for 6 weeks. Enjoy! You can also cut cucumbers into chips if you prefer a pickle chip instead of a spear.

BLUE RIBBON DILL PICKLES
A good friend gave me this recipe many years ago after I munched down nearly a quart while visiting! I threw out ALL my other dill pickle recipes because THIS ONE is the best. Several years ago, it occurred to me to enter my pickles in the County Fair. So I did. Since I'm superintendent over in the Junior Foods & Nutrition Department, I don't get to watch the Open Class judging. So later in the day (after judging in both classes was over), I went to see how my pickles (and other canned goods) fared [pun intended!]. I couldn't find my jar of pickles. They weren't on any of the shelves, neither were they in with the "disqualified" items. Hmmm. Then I spied them! Not only did they have a big blue ribbon on them, but they also received Best of Show AND the canning award! What a thrill!!! There's nothing like winning at the fair--amongst all those good cooks--to feel validated as a successful home-canner. NOTE: I did NOT list an amount for the cucumbers since I've never measured how many pounds I use--sorry! SERVING SIZE is the number of ounces in a quart jar--to facilitate nutritional information.

Steps:
- GET ALL OF THIS GOING BEFORE FILLING THE JARS.
- Wash 7 quart jars in hot, soapy water (or dishwasher), rinse and fill with hot water; set aside.
- Fill canning kettle half-full with hottest tap water; set on burner over high heat.
- In a medium saucepan, fit lids and rings together, cover with water, bring to a simmer.
- In a large saucepan, bring water, vinegar and salt to boil; turn off the heat; set aside.
- FILL JARS: place a layer of dill at the bottom of each jar, along with one garlic clove (if used), then TIGHTLY load the cukes into the jar to the NECK of the jar (depending on size you may get two nice layers with a few small cukes in the top--)---squeeze cukes into the jar tightly--uniform size helps; add a few TINY spriglets of dill at the top, too, and another garlic clove if desired.
- Once jars are loaded, pour in the brine leaving half-inch head space in each jar.
- Add lid and ring to each jar, tightening evenly.
- Place jars into canner with water JUST to the necks of the jars.
- Bring water ALMOST to a boil (about 15 minutes--depending on how fast it heats up).
- Remove jars, set on a dish towel on the kitchen counter, cover with another dish towel & let cool.
- Check for seal (indented lid), label jars or lids, store in cool dark cellar or cupboard.
- NOTES: When washing/scrubbing cukes, sort them into piles by size. This really helps make your jars look nicer, if you have uniform sizes (and this impresses the judges too!). And makes for easier packing, too.
