Subj : St. Herman 14 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Tue Apr 06 2021 15:27:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Herman's Famous Kosher Dills Categories: Squash, Herbs, Preserving Yield: 6 Servings 1 ga Jar 4 1/2 lb Kirby cucumbers 3 tb (level) + 1 ts Kosher salt 1 cl Thin sliced garlic; more to Taste 1 tb (heaping) pickling spices 1 Full stalk of dill 1/4 ts Powdered or granulated alum 1 c White vinegar Wash and pack pickles halfway into jar. Pour in all ingredients Finish packing pickles Fill to top with cold tap water Seal jar and invert jar several times to dissolve ingredients. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours and then refrigerate. Ready to eat in two days (for half sour), let stand longer for increased sourness. (BTW: salt and vinegar may be varied to suit individual taste.) A further addition from the master pickle maker..... To make pickled green tomatoes....use the same recipe as above, but add a 2" or 3" piece of fresh celery to the jar. Let stand for 5 weeks at room temperature, then refrigerate and enjoy... Remember, do not use a bare metal top...the vinegar and salt will rust it and give the pickles a bad taste...
