Instructions

  1. 1 Pour 1/2 gallon water into a large container or pot. Cover loosely and allow to sit for 24 hours to allow dissolved chlorine to escape.
  2. 2 Crisp cucumbers by storing in the refrigerator or soaking in very cold water for 1 hour.
  3. 3 Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Add salt and stir to combine. Set aside to cool.
  4. 4 Wash cucumbers in cold water and remove any blossoms clinging to them. Quarter large cucumbers lengthwise; cut medium cucumbers in half lengthwise; leave gherkin-sized cucumbers whole.
  5. 5 Peel and gently crush garlic cloves, but don't splinter them into fragments.
  6. 6 Pour cooled salt water into a 1/2-gallon mason jar. Add cucumbers, garlic, dill, and dried chile peppers, arranged attractively. Pack cucumbers tightly; they will shrink as they pickle. Fill the jar with dechlorinated water until cucumbers are just covered to avoid overly diluting brine.
  7. 7 Loosely cover the jar and set it aside at room temperature; set the jar on a dish if it is full to catch any dribbles. Let sit undisturbed until fermentation begins, 12 to 24 hours.
  8. 8 Refrigerate pickles in brine and loosely covered as they approach the pickling stage you prefer: new, half-sour, or sour. Don't overshoot the mark, as refrigeration slows but does not stop fermentation.

Instructions

  1. 1 Soak cucumbers in ice-cold water, 2 to 3 hours. Drain.
  2. 2 Inspect five 1-quart jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until brine is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  3. 3 Bring 7 cups water, vinegar, sugar, and pickling spices to a boil in a separate large pot, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves.
  4. 4 Place about 3 dill sprigs, 1 tablespoon pickling salt, 2 garlic cloves, and 2 horseradish strips into each sterilized jar.
  5. 5 Trim ends from cucumbers; cut a slit in skin of each so brine can soak in and air can get out. Pack cucumbers into the prepared jars; pour boiling brine over top, filling to within ½ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
  6. 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot; fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Remove pot from the heat; process until water is cool.
  7. 7 Remove jars from the stockpot; rest, several inches apart, to cool. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Refrigerate any unsealed jars. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
