DILL CUCUMBER SLICES
Pickling is an essential skill for preserving the bounty that comes from the agrarian South. Here, two sons of the South - the cookbook authors Matt and Ted Lee - use the traditional boiling-pot method to preserve cucumber slices. Packing slices instead of whole cucumbers allows greater volume per jar, and slices are easier to serve. These pickles, adapted from a recipe used at Stone Barns in New York, get some slight heat and personality from garlic and chilies. The latter can be omitted for a milder end result.

Steps:
- Boil a stockpot of water as deep as the shoulder of a quart jar.
- Wash cucumbers and slice on a mandoline into 1/8- to 1/4-inch-thick rounds.
- In a small saucepan bring sugar, salt, vinegar and 2 cups water to a boil over high heat; remove from heat and set aside.
- Distribute peppercorns, dill, garlic and chilies equally between two sterilized 1-quart jars, then pack jars with cucumber slices. Fill each jar with vinegar solution to 1/2-inch from rim.
- Partly close jars, leave gap for steam to escape, and place in boiling water for 10 minutes. Carefully remove jars with jar lifter or 2 tongs and close lids tightly. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
