GARLIC DILL PICKLES AND PICKLED GREEN TOMATOES
It's pickling season in my house this time of the year. My husband, granddaughter and I hit the local Farmer's Market as soon as the cucumbers and green tomatoes arrive. We spend an entire morning making our pickles and work as a team. They are ready to eat after about three days in the fridge. Sometimes, we don't wait that long!...

Steps:
- 1. In a clean sink or basin, wash the vegetables and drain on paper towels.
- 2. In a large 14 quart pot on stove, combine the water, vinegar, salt and sugar. Bring to a boil stirring to dissolve sugar and salt.
- 3. Slice your cleaned cucumbers in half and the green tomatoes in quarters,
- 4. In each clean jar, place 2 sprigs of fresh dill, 3-4 slices of sliced garlic, 6 slices of onion and 1/4 tsp. of coriander and peppercorns. Fill each jar with enough cucumbers (standing upright) or enough green tomatoes to fill the jar up to the neck leaving 1/2 inch space at the top.
- 5. When the brine in the pot is boiling, carefully ladle hot brine over the vegetables in jars to cover them. Leave 1/4 inch space at the top of jars. Place jar lid and screw ring over jar and turn to seal tightly.
- 6. If canning, follow the manufacturers directions for safe canning and sealing of jars in a large canning pot with enough water over jar to process and seal.
- 7. I do not process mine to seal but store them immediately in the refrigerator for cold process. They are not shelf stable using this method but do not last long enough, anyway! After three days, your pickles and tomatoes are ready to eat. I can keep them safely for two months in the fridge.
MCCLURE'S GARLIC AND DILL PICKLES
This is the recipe for the famous McClure's Pickles from Bob McClure's pickling class at the Brooklyn Kitchen. Some of his pickling tips: * Trim all your cucumbers to the same length, just a bit shorter than your jars, so they fit easily without smashing. Use the trimmings to pack into available spaces. * Pour some hot vinegar over your fresh garlic for a minute before putting it into the jars. This helps keep the garlic from turning blue. * Experiment with spices, such as adding more dill or hot peppers, but maintain the proportions of vinegar, salt and water to keep food safe. * Keep cucumbers on ice until packing them in jars. This helps them stay crisp. Makes 12 half pints or 6 pints

Steps:
- Wash cucumbers, and place in a large deep bowl with ice. Cover and put in fridge.
- Wash dill thoroughly and trim off roots.
- Place peeled garlic in a small bowl and pour hot vinegar over it. Let stand for 1 minute, then pour vinegar out.
- Fill a large pot with water. Place a jar in the pot and make sure the water is at least 1 inch above the top of the jar. Remove the test jar and bring the water to a boil.
- In another large pot, combine the vinegar, water and pickling salt. Bring the brine to a rapid boil. Stir the salt to make sure it doesn't stick to bottom of pot.
- While pots are getting up to a boil, take cucumbers out of the refrigerator and quarter them. Then take 1 spear and place it in a Mason jar to test its height. Make sure it stands 1/4 to 1/2 inch below the rim of the jar. Trim all the cucumbers to this size. (Keep the little bits for later.).
- After water is boiling, submerge the Mason jars for about 90 seconds to sterilize them. Remove them carefully with jar tongs.
- In each jar, place 2 halves of a garlic clove, one small handful of dill, then enough cucumbers to fill the jar, making sure cucumbers are below the "neckline." (If using pint jars, double the amount of dry ingredients in each jar.) Place 2-piece lids in boiling water for 90 seconds, then carefully remove them and place in a bowl.
- Fill jars with hot brine. Cap and seal the jars. Turn them over to make sure you have an adequate seal.
- Place jars back in boiling water. Process the sealed jars in boiling water for 10 minutes.
- Wait a week to two weeks before eating. Refrigerate after opening. Pickles will keep for up to one year if stored in a cool dry place.
AUNT AGNES' GARLIC DILL PICKLES
I can think of no better contribution a cucumber can make than becoming a pickle! This recipe is another handwritten family cookbook classic from my step-grandmother and great aunt, Agnes (oh, these convoluted Southern families ;). It is important to make sure your vinegar is of a high quality--don't go generic. We usually use Heinz brand. Also, this recipe is for 7-8 quarts, so adjust accordingly based on how many cucumbers you have (or their size!).

Steps:
- 1. Place cucumbers and onions in a plastic gallon container (I used an ice cream container), layering with the dill and garlic.
- 2. Bring water, vinegar, salt, sugar and pickling spice to a boil in a large pot. Add the alum and stir until dissolved.
- 3. Carefully pour boiling mixture over cucumbers and onions. Let cool for at least 1 hour.
- 4. Cover and refrigerate for 1 1/2 to 2 days, but no longer than 2 weeks.
Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: Use pickling cucumbers, which are small and have thin skin. They will give you the best results.
- Wash the cucumbers thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or bacteria that may be on the cucumbers.
- Trim the ends of the cucumbers: This will help the brine to penetrate the cucumbers more easily.
- Use a clean jar: Make sure the jar is clean and free of any cracks or chips. This will prevent the pickles from spoiling.
- Pack the cucumbers tightly into the jar: This will help to keep the pickles submerged in the brine.
- Use a good quality brine: The brine is what gives the pickles their flavor, so make sure you use a good quality recipe. The recipe in this article uses a combination of vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and spices.
- Seal the jar tightly: This will prevent air from getting into the jar and spoiling the pickles.
- Store the pickles in a cool, dark place: This will help the pickles to ferment properly.
Conclusion:
Making garlic dill pickles is a fun and easy way to preserve cucumbers and enjoy them all year long. With a little planning and preparation, you can have a jar of delicious pickles ready to eat in just a few weeks. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
