MARYBELLE'S POLISH DILL PICKLES



Marybelle's Polish Dill Pickles image

My mother begged this recipe from a neighbor almost 40 years ago. I'm making it still every summer, because it's so good. This is pretty much the original recipe, though I've updated the brine based on current recommendations for better food safety.

Time 25m

Yield 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pint small pickling cucumber
1 teaspoon dill seed
1 garlic clove
1 sprig dill weed, pretty (optional)
4 coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 small bay leaf
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 teaspoons pickling salt

Steps:

  • Wash and scrub cucumbers. Trim stem and blossom end. Leave small cucumbers whole, or slice into spears or sandwich slices as desired. All cucumbers in a jar should be similar in size and thickness.
  • Add seasonings, except salt, to 1 pint wide mouthed jar. Pack firmly with cucumbers, leaving a 1/2" headspace.
  • Combine vinegar, water, and salt in a small sauce pan. Heat until boiling. Ladle into jar to cover cucumbers - again, leave a 1/2" headspace.
  • Seal jar with sterilized two piece cap, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (15 minutes for quarts).
  • Wait 4-6 weeks before tasting to allow pickles to cure. Refrigerate after opening.
  • (I laid out the recipe for a single pint of pickles to make the spices easier to list - you will want to scale this up to make a canner full).

POLISH DILL PICKLES MADE IN A CROCK



Polish Dill Pickles Made in a Crock image

While my Polish grandmother canned the world's best dill pickles, she made "crock" pickles to use up the over abundance of cucumbers. They were our favorites. I make them in smaller amounts using the ratio of ingredients to the amount of cucumbers. Leave out the grape leaves if you can't find them. Prep time does not include fermentation time.

POLISH DILL PICKLES - CANNED



Polish Dill Pickles - Canned image

My Polish grandmother didn't use a recipe because she could remember the ratio of salt to water and processing time. This recipe uses 1/2 bushel cucumbers. A bushel is a "volume" measurement, 1/2 equals 4 gallons or 16 quarts. I cut the top off a gallon milk jug to "measure" the volume of cucumbers I have to determine the amount of brine and pickling solution I will need. After experimenting with other recipes, Dill Pickles from "Treasured Polish Recipes" are as I remembered my Nana's - dill not sour or spicy. If you aren't into canning - try Nana's - Polish Dill Pickles made in a Crock#36431 Prep time INCLUDES over night brining.
