Step-by-Step Instructions for Canned Dill Pickle
  1. Sterilize your jars and lids in boiling water for 10 minutes to ensure safety and freshness.
  2. Wash the fresh pickling cucumbers, trim the ends, and slice them into spears or rounds.
  3. In a medium-sized pot, combine water, white vinegar, salt, and sugar, and bring to a rolling boil.
  4. Layer cucumber slices tightly in sterilized jars, adding garlic cloves and fresh dill, leaving half an inch at the top.
  5. Pour the hot brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they're completely submerged, then seal the jars tightly.
  6. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure a tight seal.
  7. Allow the jars to cool upside down on a clean towel for 12 hours and store in a cool, dark place to cure for at least two weeks.
