Grandma's Pickles
In each quart jar place:
Fresh head of dill in the bottom (but above the grape leaf) and top (but below the grape leaf) of each jar.
1-3 Cloves of Garlic
2-6 Baby Carrots, quartered lengthwise
2 Grape Leaves (in the bottom and top of jar)
Cucumbers, washed and scrubbed, packed tightly
Lemon Juice Brine:
4 cups Lemon Juice, bottled
12 cups Distilled Water (this will make 7 quarts of pickles)
1 T Non-Iodized Pickling Salt
Salt Water Brine (multiply quantity by number of quarts):
2 T Non-Iodized Pickling Salt
1 T Lemon Juice
Just over 1/2 quart jar or water
Bring selected brine to a boil and pour over cucumbers in jar. Install lids soaked in boiling water and rings. Pace in boiling water bath. Boil 3 minutes after the water bath returns to a boil.
Cure the canned pickles 4 weeks before using. Will keep 2 weeks in the fridge after opening.
