Sandwich/Burger Dills

"This is a delicious semi-spicy sandwich dill that comes from "The Joy of Pickling" by Linda Ziedrich.. If you want to reduce the spice, cut back on the crushed red pepper. Recipes like this are what make it worth all the work to make homemade pickles Prep time does not include overnight brining."

directions

  • Put cucumber slices in a bowl. Dissolve 3 tablespoons of salt in 2 quarts of water, and pour the brine over the cucumbers. Let them stand for 12 hours.
  • Drain the cucumbers. Divide the garlic, pepper flakes and peppercorns evenly among 6 clean, sterilized pint jars. Loosely pack the cucumber slices and dill into each jar.
  • In a nonreactive saucepan, bring to a boil the vinegar, the 3 cups water, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of salt, stirring to dissolve the salt. Pour the hot liquid over the cucumber slices, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Close the jars with sterilized, hot two-piece caps.
  • Process pint jars in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes.
  • Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least one month before eating.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Well, I love to cook! Big surprise there. I've gotten so many great recipes from RecipeZaar that I finally decided to join. My goal is to organize all of my stray recipes to make sure they don't get lost, and also to remember which ones we love! I like a lot of variety, so I rarely cook the same thing week after week. The trouble is, as time goes by, it becomes difficult to remember all of the dishes that everyone loved and/or menus that were a hit when we had company. I'm hoping RecipeZaar will help on that front. I work part-time and have 2 young children, so mostly what I focus on these days is preparing simple, fresh, healthy meals that all of us will enjoy. Our kids are not coddled - they are expected to eat what they are served. However, I do try to have at least one item on the menu that I KNOW they'll like. They are very good eaters overall, but of course they have slightly different tastes, and my son is a "separator," which makes soups and casseroles a challenge sometimes. Luckily, my husband will eat anything (and I mean ANYTHING) that is put in front of him. :-)
