Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic, cut in half
  • 4 small cucumbers (pickling cucumbers work best)
  • 2 teaspoons dill seed
  • 2 - 3 teaspoons salt depending on taste
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon apple juice concentrate optional
  • 1 1/2 cups water, approximately

Instructions

  • Place garlic in a quart jar.
  • Wash cucumbers and cut into slices.
  • Place cucumber slices in jar along with dill, salt, and lemon juice (and apple juice if desired).
  • Bring water almost to a boil. Pour very hot water into jars until cucumbers are covered.
  • Screw lid on jar and place in refrigerator. (I always give the jar a gentle shake before placing in frig – just to make sure ingredients are mixed well.)
  • If Steam Canning, when steamer has reached optimum level, set timer for 15 minutes to ensure that pickles are heated through.
  • Wait at least 24 hours before serving. The pickles will taste even better after two days of marinating.
