TANGY TARTAR SAUCE (MADE WITH DILL PICKLES, NOT SWEET)
This tartar sauce is made with dill pickles, or dill pickle relish, instead of sweet pickle relish, as is common with many other recipes. The flavor is bright and fresh, without being overly sweet. I make it with Best Foods/Hellmans light mayo, so it is not too heavy of a condiment, and the kids can have a good portion without turning their healthy baked fish into an unhealthy meal.

SLICED, SPICED AND ICED REFRIGERATOR SWEET DILL PICKLES
Feeling a little lazy and not wanting to can, I was looking for a good recipe for chilled dill pickles, but couldn't quite find the exact recipe I wanted so I have adapted a recipe from Group Recipes and Epicurious to fit my needs. It's slightly sweet with the lovely taste of dill. I hope this fits your needs too! :) Cooking time is marinating time. Thank you for the inspiration coconutlime and Amelia Saltsman!

Steps:
- Evenly divide the garlic, fresh dill and sliced cucumbers among four wide mouthed pint jars.
- Before adding the mustard seed, red pepper flakes, peppercorns(if using) and dill seed, crush them slightly. You can use your hands, a mortar and pestle, or give then one quick whiz in the food processor(optional).
- In a saucepan, mix together vinegar, water, sugar, red pepper flakes, celery seed, salt, mustard seed and dill seed. Heat to just dissolve sugar, then remove and let cool. Use a funnel to fill each jar with the cooled brining liquid. The spices may float to the bottom, so use a spoon to evenly divide anything that is leftover into the jars. Cap tightly and refrigerate at least one week before eating. Enjoy!
- It was suggested you do this over a large bowl. The cucumbers start to float and displace liquid. Add the overflow back into the brining mixture before you fill up the next jar. No mess! :).
HOT, SWEET, DILL PICKLES

Steps:
- 1. Drain the pickles, leaving the pickles in the original jar and saving the lid to reseal the jar with. Pour bottle of Tabasco sauce into jar with pickles. Dump the whole 5 lb. bag of white sugar over the Tabasco and pickles. Reseal the jar.
- 2. This takes several days to complete. Keep turning the jar upside down, sideways, just keep moving the jar every time you go past it. I store it on the counter top during this phase. Eventually the sugar will dissolve and it will seep into the pickles along with the Tabasco sauce.
- 3. Once the sugar has dissolved completely you can use the pickles. We cut them in chunks. Good to eat along with other cut vegetables, olives, cheese chunks, you get the idea. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Clean and quarter cucumbers lengthwise, and soak in hot water for 1 hour. Place vinegar, sugar, salt, celery seed, turmeric, and mustard seed in large pot and bring to low boil. Simmer until slightly thickened to a light syrup. Place a head of dill in bottom of sterilized jars. Pack cucumber spears into jars. Place more dill on top and fill with hot brine. Lid jars and hot water bath for 5 minutes. Let jars rest for 2 weeks minimum for full flavor.
Tips for Making Sweet Dill Pickles:
- Choose the right cucumbers: Use fresh, firm pickling cucumbers that are about 2 to 3 inches long. Avoid cucumbers that are too large or have blemishes.
- Prepare the cucumbers: Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and cut off the blossom ends. If desired, you can also peel the cucumbers.
- Make the brine: The brine is what gives the pickles their flavor. To make the brine, combine water, vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices in a large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Pack the cucumbers in jars: Place the cucumbers in clean glass jars. Add a few dill sprigs, garlic cloves, and peppercorns to each jar. Pour the hot brine over the cucumbers, leaving about 1 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
- Seal the jars: Place the lids on the jars and seal them tightly. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time for your altitude).
- Let the pickles cool: Once the processing time is complete, remove the jars from the boiling water bath and let them cool completely.
- Store the pickles: Once the pickles are cool, store them in a cool, dark place. The pickles will be ready to eat in about 4 weeks.
