**Super EASY** Dill Pickles || Summer Canning || Large Family Food Storage

By letter2self on February 5, 2024



Looking for a super easy dill pickle recipe? This is one I’ve been using for our family for years. I love canning in the summer and working to fill up our large family food storage! I hope you find this helpful! Here are the directions below as well as a few links to canning equipment through my amazon links. Happy Canning!

Super Easy Dill Pickles

*Fresh Dill (sprigs and heads)
*cucumbers
*garlic cloves

For the Brine:
*8 1/2 cups of water
*2 1/4 cups vinegar
*1/2 cup of pickling salt

Fill your water bath canner with water and set on the stove to start bringing to a boil.
Also combine the ingredients for the brine into a large pot set on medium heat to use later when filling the jars.
After cucumbers are washed begin slicing them lengthwise into spears. Place a garlic clove and dill in the bottom of each sanitized jar, then begin pack the cucumber spears tightly. once they are packed fill each one with brine leaving only 1/2 inch of head space at the top.
Follow proper canning protocol by placing a new lid on top (that has been sitting in a warm pot on the stove) and screw on rings to finger tip tight.
After all jars have been filled place them in your canner on your jar rack and lower them down into the water making sure there is enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Place lid on top and process for 15 minutes at a boil.
Place jars on a towel on the countertop for 24 hours. Your lids should pop to sound they are done. If some don’t seal then place them in the refrigerator.
Let pickles sit for at least 2 weeks to ensure good flavor and ENJOY!

**This recipe is one I personally use, it has not been approved or given out by an approved canning source. Proceed to use at your own risk. Do not eat if seals do not seal (unless placed directly in the fridge).
