Stitch in Thyme: 24 Hour dill pickles

So what do you get when you combine.....

H2O

Dill from the garden

Any guesses?? I'll give you a hint...they taste like a pickle :)
The yummiest & easiest 24 hour dill pickle ever!! No really....ever....

Now that you know what is all in it let me fill you in on the rest....This is an old family recipe & I own the rights so please do not sell them or I will find you...lol. On we go....

3 to 4 pounds pickling cucumbers

BRINE:

4 Cups vinegar

12 Cups water

1/2 Cup salt

1/4 Cup sugar

dill (preferably fresh but seeds will work)

Here are the easy peasy directions....

You place the vinegar, water, salt & sugar into a large pot....bring to a full hard boil....that's it for the brine

While the brine is on the stove you will want to prep your pickles....oops I meant cucumbers :) Just cut into 4 slices....

You then are just going to layer your cukes & dill in a couple of layers.

Once your brine is done *carefully* pour the brine over the pickle/dill concotion....

That's it....you're done!! The last thing I do though to keep anything from flying in my awesome pickles is I lay a heavy plate over the top of the bowl....stick in the corner & let sit for 48 hours....I know I said they are 24 hour dills but the flavor is really enhance by letting them sit a bit longer....

This is where they will stay until i'm ready to eat them....
