1 Gallon cukes sliced ( you size choice0 8 Small onions sliced 2 medium peppers diced 1 Teaspoon ALUM Put this all in a Crock ( Use 2 gallon one) Sprinkle with 1/4 cup Pickling Salt and water to cover it all. Let it stand for 3 Hours in that crock
Lift the pickles etc. out of the Brine Be sure you lift it out not pour it Mske the Liquid
I use a large steel oval roaster pan it fits 2 burners.. ha ah put the Liquid in the pan Gently put the cuke in the Liquid
Heat this up to a Boil Do not boil at all .
Pack in Hot Jars leaving 1/4 head space.
If you arent familiar with how to do the jars first.. Wash them in soapy water and rinse.. Put them in clean water in a large pot to sterilize. about 20 minutes will do it .
Packing pickles, be sure to run a silver knife around the out side of cuke to rid air bubblers. I stick both my jar lids in the sterilized water .. Just dip the rubber part.
Seal Let stand to cool.......... After they age they are awesome......
