Dill Pickles - Easy to make and they taste great!

A few cucumbers, vinegar, water, bottles, lids and rings and you are on your way to making crisp, delicious dill pickles the easy way.

Have you ever tried to grow dill in your garden and experience the seeds spreading everywhere and dill sprouting up all over. Several years ago I tried the packaged "Dill Quick Process Pickle Mix" found in stores everywhere. Some stores carry "Mrs. Wages" brand and other stores carry "Ball" brand. I found both work great. The "Kosher" mix adds garlic so whatever you prefer.

There is nothing that tastes better than home grown, home canned food. All you need to do is grow a few cucumber plants in you flower beds, next to a fence or anywhere you can find a spot. If you don't have a spot, the farmer's markets are wonderful.

All you need is 15-17 pounds 3 to 4 inch fresh, firm pickling cucumbers; 5 cups distilled white vinegar that is 5% acidity; 11 cups water; 1 pouch Mrs. Wages Dill Pickle Mix and 10 to 12 quart jars with lids and rings. The directions are on the back of the package and so easy.

Not only are you saving money, but you have a supply of pickles in your pantry and best of all, you are eating food that is healthy for you.
