2015 Big Batch of Hot Garlic Dills

This batch ended up as 36 quarts.  Here is the breakdown for the batch:

  • 40 pounds of fresh pickling cucumbers
  • Over 15 Quarts of Water
  • Over 25 Cups of Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Over 4 Cups of Salt
  • 2 – 1/4 Cups Dill Seed
  • 4 – 1/2 Cups Garlic Chips
  • 4 – 1/2 Cayenne Flakes
  • Fresh Dill Heads and Tabasco Peppers

Comments: The cucumbers were fresh and excellent in color, shape, and taste.  This seems to be a great year for produce in general. Since there was very little waste, I packed these as tightly as possible.

ULTRA HOT Garlic Dills

I had some pickling solution leftover when making the regular batch of hot garlic dills along with some cucumbers. I located several more jars and decided to pump up the heat.  I added powdered cayenne to the pickling solution and added dried red hot chilies to the jar.  They are not too hot, but they are a bit spicier than the regular hot garlic dills.  The taste is still real good!
