Crock Pot Garlic Dill Pickles

Submitted by BETHANY T.

"Here is a new way to put that crockpot to use! These pickles aren't cooked, but the crock is perfect for brining small batches of pickles. These pickles are crunchy and full of garlic flavor.. reminds me of the ones they give you with your sandwich at the deli. These pickles are super easy to make and last for up to 6 months in the fridge. Note: In trying to submit this recipe, it changed the names of a couple of my ingredients. "Instant minced garlic" is the dried minced garlic sold in the spice section. And, "pickles, crisp" is a product called "pickle Crisp" sold in the canning section. Also, its not mineral water, it's spring water sold in jugs. Hope you all enjoy!"
