Makes 1 quart jar / I use wide mouth or used pickle jars
4 – 5 medium pickling cucumbers / washed & sliced longways or crossways or however you like. Do not peel.
1 scant to level tablespoon canning salt – do not heap
1 tablespoon sugar – my hubs likes sweet pickles so I use 2 -3 T.
1/2 teaspoon crab/shrimp boil – trust me – 1/2 tsp will be pretty spicy – add more if you like but it can be salty – I use Zatarains
1 clove fresh peeled garlic – slit
1 /2 fresh jalapeño / de-seed if you wish
Sprig of fresh dill if you have it (Dried is ok)
1 tablespoon pickling spice
*******
Pack the cucumber slices tightly into the jar along with the remaining ingredients – might have to push the garlic and peppers down with an object.
Pour 1/2 cup white vinegar over the cucumbers (typically 1/2 cup will be half if the jar is packed tightly.)
Fill jar with water to cover everything, put lid on tight and shake shake shake to dissolve the sugar and salt. I put a date on mine at this time. Store in the frig and shake every day for about 5 days. Ready to eat in a week (if you can wait that long!).
It’s good if you can make about 2 jars at a time. They will keep in the frig several days / weeks.
