My garden is over run by cucumbers—in fact, we have a total cucumber infestation, so I am busy pickling away. This recipe for Dill Pickles is one of my favorites. The recipe comes from Carol Gold, mother of my good friend Susie Gold, and it is a classic!
Wash cucumbers and place in a wide mouth quart-sized Ball jar. Place garlic, bay leaves and dill in the jar with cucumbers. Close jar and let sit for one hour.
Mix salt and water together. Fill jar containing cucumbers and seasoning to the top with salt water mixture. Let sit in a cool place for 7 days.
Serve. Store in the fridge after opening.

What kind of salt did you use? You must use sea salt or kosher salt. NOT table salt. 3 T. of table salt is actually much saltier than 3 T. sea or kosher.

Tried the recipe as written. Wondered about the vinegar too. After a week I tried one. It was ok. What was lacking…vinegar. So I added about 2 to 3 T. rice wine vinegar. Waited another week. OUTSTANDING! Will absolutely make these again, of course with a little vinegar from the outset.

I tried this recipe and could not stand to eat the pickles. They are way too salty! Are you sure the recipe is correct? It seems odd to me that there is no vinegar. I will be dumping everything and trying to salvage my pickles with another method.

I am also wondering if there shouldn’t be vinegar in the recipe? I would love to make these, but I’m not sure they would be pickles without some vinegar?>\

No vinegar?
Glenda – in order to do a water bath, you need to have an acid, like vinegar – otherwise you have to use a pressure cooker to kill the botulism toxin.
