That does sound good.
Im going to have tons of cucumbers and my father in law doesnt even like to eat them sooo there are gonna be alot of pickles being made lol. I am def gonna try yours next time by using half brown sugar.

Well guys I got a little over 10 more pounds of cucumbers this evening and about a half a pound of banana peppers and about 8 small green bell peppers.
I need some things from the store before I make more pickles. Tomorrow is grocery day.

I made 4 quarts of this one tonight and Im going to make a batch like Kevin's later tonight. I added some red pepper flakes and whole peppercorns to each jar.

Aunt Agnes' Garlic Dill Pickles

I can think of no better contribution a cucumber can make than becoming a pickle! This recipe is another handwritten family cookbook classic from my step-grandmother and great aunt, Agnes (oh, these convoluted Southern families . It is important to make sure your vinegar is of a high quality--don't go generic. We usually use Heinz brand. Also, this recipe is for 7-8 quarts, so adjust accordingly based on how many cucumbers you have (or their size!).

7 -8 quarts
1 quart vinegar
3 quarts water
1 cup salt
2-3 dozen cucumbers
7-8 teaspoons dill seeds (or 7-8 pinches fresh dill)
7-8 cloves garlic (if cloves are small, 14-16)


Wash and pack your cucumbers in clean jars.
Add 1 tsp dill seed or a pinch of fresh dill and one clove of garlic (if cloves are small, use 2) per quart.
Combine vinegar, water and salt and bring to a boil.
Pour or ladle liquid mixture into jars, then seal and store them for 21 days.
Put in refrigerator and let chill at least 24 hours before opening.

I love a good garlic-dill, janie! Your aunt's recipe sounds fantastic!

Im sorry I should have been more specific. I found the recipe on
Aunt Agnes' Garlic Dill Pickles Recipe | Recipezaar
It is not actually my aunts recipe..but it is someone's Aunt Agnes's recipe lol.

The look really nice in the jar. I going to try and make about 8 more jars of this one so that I have an even dozen. That with what I have made so far will be plenty pickles for me.
Three out of four haved popped so far.

I did get four pints made using your method with the half brown/half white sugar.
