Did a big batch of pickles yesterday. Have been using
SmokinAl
garlic dill recipe for the last couple of years and always have gotten great results. Only difference is this time I used regular cukes instead of the pickling cukes. Pretty self explanatory but here are a few pictures.
Starting out.
Didn't get a whole lot of the pictures in the process. You add in the garlic, dill weed, dill seed, mustard seed, and alum into the jars and then pack the sliced up cukes in. I added several with jalapenos and habaneros because I like them hot. Then you heat up the brine which consists of water, vinegar, and pickling salt and then dump it over the cukes and close up the jars.
Here are the spicy ones.
And the regular garlic dills.
Then I tried something new.
Steve H
had posted a recipe several months ago for spicy pickled garlic so I knew I had to try that out too.
All together.
Close up of the spicy ones.
Check out the color difference. The jar on the right is the last of the batch I did in February 2019.
Not a bad stock. Now the wait.
Last time I made these the spicy ones had a little tingle from the jalapenos and habaneros so I packed more in this time around. Had I of had some cayenne on hand I would have added that as well. Anyways cant wait for this batch to age up. Thanks for checking it out.
