This is the best Canned Dill Pickle recipe you will find this summer. It is a great recipe to have up your sleeve when your cucumber plants start producing more cucumbers than you can possibly eat. To make this easy canned dill pickle recipe, you will need 6 quart-sized wide-mouth mason jars with rings and new lids, a large stock pot with a rack or a canner and something like a jar lifter to safely transfer the jars.
Start by sterilizing the jars and lids. Divide the canned dill pickle recipe ingredients between the six jars. Make a pickling liquid from water, sugar, pickling salt and distilled white vinegar. Top up the jars with the pickling liquid. Place the lids on top and process the jars in a canner.
To make my version of Canned Dill Pickle, you will need the following ingredients:
In each sterilized jar, place 1 bay leaf, 5 peppercorns, 1 dill stem, 2 garlic cloves and some horseradish if using. Pack the cucumbers tightly into jars.
Combine 5⅓ cups water, 3½ tablespoons of sugar, 4 tablespoons of salt and 4 cups vinegar in a medium sized saucepan. Bring the contents of the saucepan to a boil.
Top up each of the jars with the pickling brine so that the cucumbers are completely covered but there is ½ an inch of space below the top of the jar. Screw on the jar lids so that there is a tight seal in place. Do not over-tighten the lids in order that excess air bubbles can escape.
Place the jars in a canner or a large saucepan with a wire rack at the bottom. Pour boiling water over the jars until they are covered with 1-2 inches of water. Boil for 15 minutes. Remove the jars carefully from the saucepan.
Leave the jars to settle at room temperature for 12-24 hours. When the jars fully seal, you will hear a pop. If the seal does not form, store the pickles in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3 months.
I love to serve these pickles in sandwiches or on burgers
