Today I decided to stop waiting and opened a jar of hot dill pickles. I have already gone through half of a quart jar of them.
Hot Dill Pickles
Small cucumbers or large cucumbers sliced into quarters and halved if too long.
Whole jalapenos
Garlic cloves
Dill
Grape leaves
1/4 tsp. pickling spices
1/4 tsp. mustard seed
Brine
2 qt. vinegar
2 qts. water
1 cup canning or pickling salt
Mix vinegar, water and salt together. Bring to boil and keep at a low boil until all jars are filled.
Fill quart jars with cucumbers, one jalapeno pepper quartered lengthwise, 2 to 3 garlic cloves peeled.
Add pickling spices, mustard seed and 2 heads of dill. Top with one or two fresh grape leaves (can omit if not available).
Ladle or pour boiling brine into filled jars. Immediately seal and turn upside down to cool.
Allow to cure in a cool place for 4 to 6 weeks.
