Sun Dill Pickles Recipes

3 DAY SUN PICKLES RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix water, pickling salt and vinegar in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and boil for five minutes.
• Set to the side and cool for about 5 minutes, or until luke warm.
• In a large gallon sized jar, place dill, cut onion, peeled garlic and cucumbers. Place cucumber last, and fill the jar.
• Pour warm mixture into the jar and put the lid on.
• Set jar outside in the sun for 3 days.
• After three days, open the jar and test a pickle. If it is to your liking, place the jar in the fridge. This will keep the pickles crunchy.

DILL PICKLES

Steps:

• Combine the salt and water in a pitcher and stir until the salt has dissolved.
• Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly and snip off the blossom end stem. Set aside.
• Place the peppercorns, pepper flakes, garlic, dill seed and fresh dill into a 1-gallon crock. Add the cucumbers to the crock on top of the aromatics. Pour the brine mixture over the cucumbers in order to completely cover. Pour the remaining water into a 1-gallon ziptop plastic bag and seal. Place the bag on top of the pickles making sure that all of them are completely submerged in the brine. Set in a cool, dry place.
• Check the crock after 3 days. Fermentation has begun if you see bubbles rising to the top of the crock. After this, check the crock daily and skim off any scum that forms. If scum forms on the plastic bag, rinse it off and return to the top of the crock.
• The fermentation is complete when the pickles taste sour and the bubbles have stopped rising; this should take approximately 6 to 7 days. Once this happens, cover the crock loosely and place in the refrigerator for 3 days, skimming daily or as needed. Store for up to 2 months in the refrigerator, skimming as needed. If the pickles should become soft or begin to take on an off odor, this is a sign of spoilage and they should be discarded.

• Place the garlic, dill, salt, and vinegar into the jar with the cucumbers. If you're using the alum, put it into the jar now, too.
• Fill the jar to about 1/2 inch from the top with clean cool water. If your water at home is rusty or irony, use bottled water.
• Place a new canning flat lid on top, making sure that the rim of the jar is clean and no salt or dill is between the jar and the lid. Seal tight by hand.
• Shake the jar vigorously until the salt is dissolved.
• Write the date one week from the date you're making these on top of the lid with a magic marker.

• Add vinegar and salt to the top of the jar; fill with cold tap water.
