The Recipe For Pickles

This recipe is from "Martha" on the MOMYs board. I find the MOMYs board to be a big source of help and encouragement though I don't post often. Most people there have much larger families than mine!!

****PICKLE RECIPE****

4 T salt
4 C water
2 C white vinegar

Bring to a boil.

1 clove garlic per quart jar
1 sprig fresh dill per jar OR 1tsp dill seed per jar

Put cukes, garlic and dill in jar, pour boiling brine over the top, seal. I sterilize my canning stuff by running it in the dishwasher on wash/dry "HOT." If you don't have a dishwasher, wash your things in hot water, run a bit of boiling water over and put in a 200 degree oven for a little bit.

To seal, I just followed the advice on the MOMYs board and turned my jars upside-down on a tea towel for a couple hours. Then I stuck my pickle jar upside down in the fridge for about a month.

The children wish I had made several more jars of these pickles; they really are good.
