Since ya'll mentioned Claussen pickles I thought I'd share my recipe for copycat claussens. I make these every summer and love them.
Ingredients:
35-40 small to medium cukes
1 gallon cold water
1 cup distilled vinegar
2 tablespoons mixed pickling spices
1 cup canning salt
5 oz diced garlic
2/3 cup dried minced onion
4 fresh dill heads
Instructions:
Wash cukes
Trim blossom end of cukes and half or quarter them
In a gallon jar layer the dill heads, garlic and sliced cukes
In a seperate bowl mix together remaining ingredients until salt is dissolved
Pour brine over cukes and make sure they are all submerged, you may have to use a saucer or mug to weigh them down.
Cover lightly with lid just sitting on jar or use cheesecloth and a rubber band.
Leave out of direct sunlight on the counter for 2-4 days.
Screw the lid on the jar and chill in the fridge.

That's pretty similar to the recipe I use for canning as well. Hopefully this year my super hots will be ripe during pickle making season so I can use them is some pickles.
you should, i forgot to mention that i was going to take a jar and make relish soon with the hot pickles, leaving in the garlic and super hots.Ring-of-Fire said:
