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

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).

Finally a Video that takes you from start to finish without overexplaining and giving too many options. I appreciate you sharing after the first 10 videos that gave more commentary than instructions. I was blessed to come across your video when I almost gave up. God Bless and Thanks!

You can also cover the bottom of the pot with lid rings, it works well

My family loves these pickles. It the first time I ever made pickles. I went from building homes to making pickles thank you and God bless you and yours and God bless America šŗšø

Always cut 1/4 inch off the bloom end of the cucumber, then they will stay crisp. Otherwise if you don't, the bloom end releases an enzyme into the jar that makes them go limp/soft.

I have taken rings and placed in the bottom of a pot then put my jars into the pot to keep them off the bottom. This is because I might no have to many jars to cann, so this has worked for me.
