Full Sour
Kosher DillsMake in August they are especially good when new after about 4 weeks.
1 Cup + 2 tbsp pickling salt
24 Cups cold water
6 quarts fresh cucumbers 3-4 inches long
18 peeled Garlic cloves
18 big sprigs of Dill
4 hot Banana Peppers seeded and cut in strips
Place the salt and 8 cups of the water in a saucepan and heat until the salt dissolves. Cool and combine with the remaining water. Reserve.
Scrub the mud and prickles off cucumbers, remove any stems and cover with cold water and 2 trays of ice cubes. Let stand for an hour
Place layers of cucumber, garlic, dill and peppers in a 2 Gallon crock.
Pour on the cooled brine. Invert a clean desert plate over the cucumbers and weigh down with a clean jar filled with water. The cukes must all be submerged. Cover the crock with a clean tea towel. Let stand in a cool (but not cold) place until the bubbling ceases (about a week).
Divide the Cukes etc among 9 cooled sterilized quart jars. Fill with brine. Expect it to be cloudy.
Store in the fridge and enjoy the schmeck
Note: Some picklers make their Dills right in the jars and when fermentation has finished top up the jars with more brine.

Bread & Butter Pickles
I used your pickling
cucumbers last summer to
make my Grannies old recipe
for Bread and Butter
Pickles. This receipe is
over one hundred years old.
So its not in metric
measurements. Sorry.
EVERYONE, I MEAN EVERYONE,
LOVED THIS RECEIPE
4 quarts sliced cucumbers
6 medium onions sliced
2 green peppers chopped
1/3 cup pickling salt
I put all these ingredients
in my roasting pan(just the
right size) and then mix
them up and cover with
cracked ice for 3 hours.
Then drain them well.
Sauce
In a large pot combine the
following ingredients and
heat to boiling.
5 cup sugar
1-1/2 tsp. turmeric
1-1/2 tsp. celery seed
2 tbsp mustard seed
3 cups vinegar
Once these come to a boil
add the vegetables and
reheat to a boil then bottle
imediately
Perhaps some of your other
customers will want to try
this receipe.
