SALTY DILL PICKLES

1 qt. white vinegar
2 qts. water
1 c. salt
1 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. alum
1 onion or garlic in each qt.
1 hot pepper in each qt.
1 grape leaf in each qt.

Wash pickling cucumbers and scrape off blossom end. Mix vinegar, water, salt, turmeric and alum. Bring to a boil. Pour over cucumbers after they are packed in jars with 1 tsp. dill seed or 2-3 sprigs of fresh dill.

Note: Grandma's recipe called for sterilized jars with no further processing. Newer pickling recipes call for processing in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes but we have not found that step necessary with this recipe. Grandma's pickles were crispier, and that's how we make them. But you can still process them if you choose.

David (Maine) says:

Tried this recipe as I love salted dill pickles. I made a second batch with less salt and they came out pretty good. I simply followed the recipe and put in fridge for about 48 hours. This recipe is now a standard for my simple pickle making.

Hi, did the less salt taste really great or just OK?
