SUNSHINE DILL PICKLES
Years ago, our family received a jar of these as a house-warming gift when we moved. My five brothers and I made very short work of that jar--we loved 'em! My mother has made several hundred gallons of these over the years. And I still make at least one gallon every summer....and a few times I've even "canned" them (transferred to quart jars or left in the gallon jar) after they've gotten their sun-tan. They keep for MONTHS in the back of the fridge, or for longer if you "can" them. My folks refer to these as "Gramma Smart Pickles" --after the little old lady who lived next door in Eagle, Wisconsin.

Steps:
- In a gallon glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, place a layer of dill in the bottom, then a layer of cukes; add garlic cloves if desired.
- Keep layering dill & cukes to the neck of the jar; finish with a layer of dill.
- Add vinegar and salt to the top of the jar; fill with cold tap water.
- Cover and screw on tightly (add a doubled over square of wax paper or plastic wrap if you like, too).
- Give the jar a few good shakes to distribute the salt.
- Set in a sunny spot outside for four days; mark the calendar with the "due date."
- Turn the jar slightly each day (for an even tan); leave out an extra day if rainy or cloudy.
- Chill and eat.
- IDEA: Add green or red pepper slices along with the dill for a taste explosion!
- SUGGESTION: When scrubbing the fresh cukes, sort-as-you-go into piles of uniform size. This makes filling the jar go much quicker--looks prettier too.

Steps:
- Cut ends off cucumbers and wash.
- Pack the cucumbers in jar with dill and garlic to taste.
- (I prefer fresh dill from my garden--usually two to four dill heads. Four garlic cloves seems to hit the happy medium mark for the whole family--the garlic flavor does get stronger as they stand though.) Stir together the warm water, vinegar and canning salt, then pour over the cucumbers.
- Place the slice of dark rye bread on top.
- Put lid on loosely.
- Set in the sun for four days.
- Take the rye bread off.
- Chill for two days and then you can use them.
Tips:
- Choose the right cucumbers: Pickling cucumbers are best for this recipe. They are smaller and have thinner skin than regular cucumbers, which makes them more tender and flavorful.
- Slice the cucumbers evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a sharp knife: This will make it easier to slice the cucumbers evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the jars: Leave some headspace at the top of the jars so the pickles can expand as they cook.
- Use a clean spoon: When you are transferring the pickles to the jars, use a clean spoon to avoid contaminating the pickles.
- Store the pickles in a cool, dark place: This will help them keep their flavor and crispness.
Conclusion:
Sunshine pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make summer condiment. They are perfect for adding a tangy, sweet, and savory flavor to sandwiches, salads, and burgers. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these pickles all summer long.
