for all of you that like to make dill pickles!!!

This is a great thing that I just learned the dills turn out real crunchy, insead of mushy

I like to use small cukes from 2 inch to 4 inch.
clean then cover with water and keep ice on them for 12 to 24 hours.

1 1/2 quarts of vinegar
2 quarts of water
1 cup salt
bring to a boil while you put cukes in the jars
add in in jars.. a bunch of dill weed
garlic... if you prefer a bunch of dill weed
in each pint jar add 1/4 teaspoon of alum

pour hot vinegar water over the pickles within one inch of the top
place lid and screw on ring tightly
put jars in very hot water bath and proc ess for 5 min.

let cool overnight and enjoy

I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do...
