Hi and welcome to our website!
If you are looking for a quick and easy recipe for some tasty DILL PICKLES, you are in the right place.
So make yourself a cup of tea and sit back and watch our short video tutorial and recipe is posted below. 🙂
You will need a 6 pack or more of mini cucumbers, cut them the way you like to eat them. I have some quartered and some cut in slices. The slice cucumbers will be for serving with a sandwich and the quarter cucumbers will be for snacking on. But of course after they are pickled they will be DILL PICKLES.
In a medium saucepan bring vinegar, bay leaves, pickling spice and water to a boil, remove from heat and pour into prepared jars with mini cucumbers.

Sterilizing and Canning Procedures
Method for Sterilization:
1. Start by getting a large boiler and filling it about quarter full of water.
2. Then bringing the water to a boil and placing your mason jars inside then cover.
3. After let the water boil for about 15 to 20 minutes, then remove your jars and place them on paper towels or a cloth.
Method for Canning Procedures:
1. Then place your jars back in hot water bath and start to boil water for another 5 to 10 minutes with the cover on boiler.
2. Remove jars from boiler safely, place on counter and leave at room temperature then check your lids, 3 ways.
   1. Remove screw cap and lightly run your finger upwards on the lid if it don't remove it’s sealed, put the screw cap back on tight and date/label each jars. Then store in cool panty or room.
    2. If the lid is not popped up when you touch the middle it means its sealed.

Sterilizing and Canning Procedures
Remember when making anything always make it your own, I can give you my ways of making it but if you feel like changing some of the ingredient’s to suit your needs…..that’s ok.
Before you start making these delicious dill pickles, make sure you sterilize the jars, clean all tools well and surface area. This will prevent any cross contamination while making these dill pickles. Also if you like to infuse your pickling sauce with peppers, mustard or whatever you like your dill pickles to taste like. Our vinegar liquid is basic with a twist of garlic and dill.
The way I like them!
Thank you for stopping by and enjoy our recipe to the fullest, on behalf of myself, RMHussey Productions and Team and from our kitchen to yours….Have a wonderful day! 🙂
