Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 quarts water
1 quart white vinegar
1 cup pickling salt
5 pounds cucumbers
1 bunch fresh dill
1 head garlic

Combine water, vinegar and salt. bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and
refrigerate overnite in glass or plastic jars. Next day, scrub cucumbers. Put
some dill flowers and at least 5 peeled garlic cloves into each canning jar. (
I like to add peppercorns too). Pack cucumbers into jars nice and tight, cover
with cold brine, secure lids and refrigerate at least 3 days. As you take out
and devour pickles, put more cucumbers in the jar and keep the cycle going.
