I really love this simple pickle recipe! It’s the perfect amount of sugar to salt. And the difference between these pickles and a store bought version is HUGE – these are crispy, crunchy, and full of flavor! Try them and you won’t be disappointed! 🙂
This looks almost identical to the recipe I use when I make my own from my garden. They taste very similar to Clausen pickles, which are my favorite! I do one jar with some crushed red pepper too and they’re really really good.
are the garlic cloves supposed to be whole? Also i’m not sure how much is a “head” of dill…?
Thanks for asking these questions I didn’t know the answer to either one either. Ha
Wondering….could you reuse the liquid to make more after they are all gone, at least a few times?
I’m betting you can!
Yum!! My Grandmother used to make these with onions and garlic. I would love to learn how to can..can you start a canning for dummies string?? Lol. I know know if one one would be interested? I have no clue but I’m sure someone on here is probably an expert

I would love this! I started canning last year and still have so many questions!
I would love to learn as well!! My grandmother did but I was a little too young to pick up on it, I don’t know where to start!!
Oh! And I love how they used the reusable chalk stickers from the recent Amazon deal! 😉
