Today I bought a jar of the Ball kosher dill pickle spice blend. This has all the spices and the pickle crisp already in it. So, I went about making 2 quarts using that. And got 2 English cucumbers. I should have bought 3. So these 2 quart mason jars are packed light.
The directions are easy enough.
I cut the cucumbers into spears. And got them soaking in ice water.
In a pot I added:
4 cups water
2 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup of the Ball spice blend.
Bring these to a boil.
Pack the cukes into the quart mason jars. Fill with brine to a 1/2" from rim.
I vacuum sealed these so they'll be ready in about a week.
The jar of mix will make 14 quarts of pickles.
