We have a really quick tutorial on how to do home canning safely .

Principal ingredient for every pickle recipe is cucumbers .

I'm using number twos .

They're about two inches long into the sink .

It's important to wash each and every one individually .

If you come upon one that's kind of mushy , you need to discard it .

Otherwise it's in your hand , you're going to rub each cucumber , making sure to remove any soil or any debris .

Once all of the cukes are washed , we're transferring them onto a clean towel and I graduate them by size , tiny medium and then that full two inch of the different sizes will help when you place them into the jars .

Talking about the jars , we're gonna take our jars and sterilize them .

We invert into the dishwasher .

We're gonna run a full cycle with no soap , the lids and rings come off lids into one small pot with water , the rings into another with water .

While the jars are sterilizing , we're prepping some additional ingredients .

I have the heads off of dill weed .

I also chop up a little bit of the stock as added flavor .

Three heads of garlic peeled and sliced .

I also have some spicy bird's eye chili peppers more about those in a moment .

The other thing we can do now is prepare our brine 12 cups of water .

We're adding four cups of pickling vinegar .

I have three quarters of a cup of pickling salt and then family secret two tablespoons of granulated sugar .

We then stir the brine mixture together till the sugar and salt dissolve .

Just a thing .

To note , you're gonna need to make this brine twice in order to fill all of the jars for this recipe .

Once the jars are sterilized , we're transferring them onto the work surface .

We're gonna add the head from the dill .

We eat a couple little bits of stock for added flavor .

We're gonna add a handful of our sliced garlic .

Don't be skimpy .

I'm also dropping in 8 to 10 black peppercorns into each jar into half of the jars .

I also added one small birds eye pepper didn't cut it left it whole , it'll give those pickles a nice little bit of heat .

And now we're taking our cucumbers , we're gonna add them into each jar standing up .

Right .

And you just add your tus in , you're gonna need to squeeze them in there into the bottom .

You might have to twist a pickle .

Sometimes it's like , oh , it's not going in there .

And , but if you just kind of push , eventually they do first layer goes in and then a second layer leaving a little bit of head room right at the top .

Once the jars are stuffed , we're gonna bring our brine to a boil .

We also have our lids and rings sterilized .

I've also sterilized the funnel , the funnel goes on top of the jar .

We're gonna ladle in the brine all the way , the top , a tiny bit of head room , then we transfer our sterilized lid , finger tight , twisting the rings on to the next jar .

You're gonna fill all the way along halfway through .

You're gonna need more brine .

So make another batch of brine and then finish things off .

Lids are on , rings are on .

Now it's time for that last step , which is the actual canning of the jars .

We have a pot with boiling water .

I do four jars at a time making sure they're completely submerged .

I like to take my pickles out when they're still a bit modeled .

You can see a little bit of brilliant , bright green left as the jars cool though .

They'll turn a nice uniform color once the lids pop and the pickles cool .

Completely a final detail .

All of a presentation because they make such wonderful gifts .

We're taking circles of craft paper , pull it down over the lid a little bit of and you're good to go .

These do make wonderful gifts .

I wish I had one for each and every one of you .

Instead it's up to you to make garlic dill pickles yourself .

Get going .

It's a worthy endeavor .

I know you're going to enjoy after that .

Come on back and visit weekend at the cottage again soon .

It's all about good food , good friends and good times we'll see you again .

Mhm .
