Gardening can be so rewarding.  The problem is what to do with all your bounty.  This recipe for crunchy pickles can really use up some of that bounty.  It also makes a great gift!  These Crunchy pickled vegetables are stored in the refrigerator.  There is no canning or sterilizing of jars in this recipe.


The recipe

2 lbs cucumbers (okra, carrots or any other veggie)
6 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 cups vinegar
1/2 cup pickling salt
1 t dill seeds
1 1/2 t alum (makes veggies crisp)
1 bunch dill
6 - 10 cloves garlic 
Glass jars

Start by layering a couple cloves of garlic and fresh dill on bottom of glass jar.  Add pickles, okra, carrots, whatever you have.  Add another layer of garlic and dill.  Then another layer of vegetables.  Top with garlic and dill.  Set in sun for 2 - 3 days for "sun pickles".  Or you can put in the refrigerator for a couple days.  I tried to do sun pickles but Florida heat scared me so they went in the fridge for 8 days.  I forgot about them.  They were delicious!!!

NOTE:  after talking with my sister she reminded me that the pickles can get really garlicy.  So I decided to take the garlic out once they achieved the flavor I wanted.  Great TIP!
