Make your own Pickles

My Dill Pickle Recipe

This roughly makes one jar. If you want to increase the amounts just remember that you need double the amount of water to vinegar.

1 cup of pickling vinegar
2 cups of water 1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
1 clove of garlic
Dill (heads will do)
Pickling jar
2 tablespoons of salt dissolved in 400ml of water
Method:

Soak the Gherkins overnight in a salt-water solution. Make sure the water covers them.

Boil your jar or run through the dishwasher on sterilise.

Put in one teaspoon of mustard seeds, a peeled clove of garlic and the Dill. Pack in your Gherkins.

Put the vinegar and water in a pan and bring to the boil. Pour into the jar until the Gherkins are covered. Seal and process (boil the jar upright in water) for 30 mins.
