Polish Dill Pickles - Canned image

My Polish grandmother didn't use a recipe because she could remember the ratio of salt to water and processing time. This recipe uses 1/2 bushel cucumbers. A bushel is a "volume" measurement, 1/2 equals 4 gallons or 16 quarts. I cut the top off a gallon milk jug to "measure" the volume of cucumbers I have to determine the amount of brine and pickling solution I will need. After experimenting with other recipes, Dill Pickles from "Treasured Polish Recipes" are as I remembered my Nana's - dill not sour or spicy. If you aren't into canning - try Nana's - Polish Dill Pickles made in a Crock#36431 Prep time INCLUDES over night brining.

I'm not a big fan of dill pickles, but these were actually really good. The dill flavor wasn't too overpowering.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pickles turned out really soft. I think I might have cooked them for too long.

I love the flavor of these pickles, but they were a little too sour for my taste. Next time I'll use less vinegar.
