Kosher Dills

March 18th, 2009

1 Tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pickling spice
1 head dill
6 cloves garlic

Pack small whole cucumbers in quart jars with ingredients on bottom. Fill to very
brim with cold water. Screw on lids. Shake. Store in cool, dark place on a pad
of newspapers. Jars will leak and bubble somewhat and the lids will not seal
down. Allow 6 weeks to cure.
