Old Bay Pickles
Ingredients
- 8 pickeling cucumbers sliced in strips or rounds
- 3 cups water
- 3 cups white vinegar*
- 4 bay leaves 1 per jar
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed 1 per jar
- 4 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tbsp crushed red pepper
- 1 tbsp dill seed
Instructions
- Add all ingredients, except cucumbers to a large sauce pan or Dutch oven and bring to boil. Pour a tablespoon or two of the hot liquid into hot jars, pack jars with sliced cucumbers and pour hot liquid over the cucumbers. Wait a min or two and you will probably be able to add more pickles. Leave about 1/2 inch at top so that your jars will seal and you will not slosh liquid everywhere when you open them!
Notes
*I used white vinegar in the batch of summer 2019 but, you could totally use apple cider vinegar and I will be trying it next time
