Each year I make a pilgrimage to Duris Farms for pickle supplies. They have it all!
Here’s my favorite recipe:
- 1.5 pounds pickling cukes with blossom end trimmed off
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1.5 Tablespoons kosher salt
- Large dill stem with flowers
- 1/4 cup Duris pickling spice mix
- Grape leaves (for crisp pickles)
Divide up garlic, dill, a couple of grape leaves and spices in clean mason jars, pack in cucumbers. Mix salt, water and vinegar over medium heat. Pour liquid over cukes in jars leaving a 1/2 inch of headroom.
If you’re going to eat soon put in fridge. If you want to save for later do a water bath canning.
