Matt's Grandma's pickles... that's right.. authentic polish dills...

pickling cucumbers
dill heads
garlic cloves (if you can get these pre peeled it will make it MUCH easier)
pickling spice
6 quarts water
1 quart vinegar
8 tbsp pickling salt.


mix the water, vinegar and salt and bring to a boil. Boil jars for 10 minutes, put lids in steaming water.

Pack your sterile jars, starting with one or two cloves of garlic (depending on size), a head or two of dill (depending on size) and a pinch of pickling spice. Fill it tightly with cucumbers. Fill it with the brine. Put on the lid and boil until they turn colour, about 5 minutes. That's it.
