Sweet Dill Pickles #2

2 c. sugar
1/2 c. cider vinegar

Discard pickle liquid.
Slice pickles 1/4 to 1/2" thick.
Put half of slices in a jar and sprinkle with 1 c. of the sugar.
Put other half of of slices in jar and sprinkle with the other 1 c. sugar.
Put Jar into a large bowl, in case it leaks. Turn jar every now and then. Let stand at room temperature overnight or 5 - 6 hours until the sugar has dissolved.
Add vinegar and stir up.

Good idea to shake and turn jar over a couple of times.
This cold method produces a crisper pickle because the sugar draws liquid from the pickles.

In reply to Pattyn55 for Garlic Dill Pickles
.....

Hi Patty.....this is my recipe for garlic dills. It is a salt brine pickle, nice and crispy like those used in the Jewish delis in NY City and the Catskills. It is also made by the jar not the batch, so you can make as much or as little as you want.

Garlic Dill Pickles

1st. Sterialize as many quart jars, rings and tops as you will need.
2nd. Wash and pick over your pickle cukes(not salad cukes). They must be perfect. No nicks or bruises. I have used this for thick sliced, spears or whole pickles.
3rd. Cover the cukes with cold water and place in the refrigerator overnite. This removes bitterness and keeps them crunchy.
4th. Remove a very thin slice from each end of the cuke as this will prevent them from getting soft and nasty. Fill each jar with cukes, add 1 T. kosher salt, 1 T mixed pickling spice, 2-4 cloves garlic whole or chopped as you prefer, 2-3 sprigs dill (add flower heads for extra flavor) if fresh dill is not available you can use 1/2 tsp dill seeds. Now from here you can add anything you want like a few hot pepper flakes (a nice zesty pickle) or a small dried chili. Each jar can be different. Now fill each jar with boiling water, put on lids and rings, screw down and shake each jar. Turn upside down on a towel overnight. Next day turn right side up. I keep mine in a spare refrigerator as I like them cold, but friends have kept theirs on a cool dark pantry shelf and they have lasted at least 6 months if not eaten before then. should be ready to eat in about 7 days.

Hope you enjoy these as much as we do.
You can also do fresh whole grean beans this way. Makes a great salad topper.

This is almost like a fresh sliced cucumber when opened for use.

Cucumber Catsup

cucumbers, peeled
10% vinegar

Grate large cucumbers before they begin to turn yellow.
Drain out the juice and put the pulp through a sieve to remove the large
seeds.
Fill a bottle half full of the pulp.
Discard any juice.
Fill the other half of the bottle with vinegar.
Put in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
When you are ready to use, add salt and pepper.

(Salt will kill the vinegar if you put it in when this is made).

[carnation037]

Pickled Garlic

2 parts white or white wine vinegar,
...(Must be 5% if you're going to can the garlic)
1 part water
peeled garlic cloves
jalapeno peppers, 1 per pint jar, optional
...(slice or cut 3 lengthwise slits in each)
peppercorns, 1/3 tsp. per jar, optional

Mix the vinegar and water together in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.

For refrigerating:
Place the garlic cloves, peppers and peppercorns in a hot sterilized jar.
Pour the hot vinegar/water pickling solution over the mixture.
Let cool to room temperature. Cap, and store in the refrigerator at LEAST a
week before eating.
If you like them less crispy, heat the garlic cloves in the solution for a
minute or two first.

For canning:
Place the garlic in the clean pint jars.
Layer with the peppers, or if using whole peppers, place one in each jar.
Fill with the hot vinegar/water pickling solution, leaving 1/2" space at the
top.
Seal and process in a hot boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
Let the jars set for at least a week before eating.

You can add salt, or leave out the peppers and peppercorns, or use hotter
peppers.
Try throwing in a little dill weed or a sprig of fresh basil.
Or try layering the garlic with sliced red and green jalapenos.
If the garlic is to be canned, the main thing to remember is that the
pickling solution should be at least half 5% strength vinegar and you should
have a safe pickle.
