You haven't done canning , have you?

Boil 7 pint jars and lids to steralise,leave in water while doing the rest of recipe

Boil 1 qt water
1 qt white vinager(other types discolor the pickles)
3/4 C pickling salt, or 1 cup kosher salt
3/4 C white sugar
(optional:3T pickling spice in a smallbag,remove after 10minutes boil)

remove jars from water
in eachjar place one clove garlic and a few bits of dill

scrub cukes and slice lengthwise into 1/2s or 1/4s

put the cukes into the jars, cramming them in tight, but make sure they are 1/2 inch below the rim of the jar.

Pour brine mix over cukes,fix lids,and boil for 10 minutes in a canning pot

remove and let cool. If the jars doesn't seal, put that jar in the fridge.

If he hasn't done canning, you left out the "let sit in jars for at least 5 days before consuming".

Thanks guys. No, I am not going to can this. Just do it for immediate (after 5 days..) consumption.
