Dill Pickles

1 Quart Vinegar 4 Garlic Cloves
3 Quarts Water Alum
1 Cup Salt, Non-Iodized Enough Cucumbers To Fill 7 1-Quart Jars
7 Heads Of Dill

Scrub cucumbers and pack into hot jars with a head of dill, 1/2 clove of garlic and a pinch of alum. If picking cucumbers are too large for jars, cut into spears. Bring brine ingredients to a boil. Pour over cucumbers leaving 1/4 inch head space and seal jars. Makes about 7 quarts.

"The hardest part about these is finding the fresh heads of dill to put in the jars.  Other than that, they are so very easy to make.  Add a little alum to the jars to help keep them crisp.  These are unlike any dill pickles you can get elsewhere." - Calla Ferre

"This recipe has been passed down from generation to generation.  My mother taught me to make them when I was young." - Jean Hansen
