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.

Texas Smoked Flounder

Texas Smoked Flounder

4.0

Prep
15 min
Cook
30 min
Total
45 min

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat a smoker for high heat, about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). If you do not have a smoker, prepare a grill for indirect heat. If you have a gas grill, stop here and find another recipe!
  2. 2 Clean and scale a fresh flounder. I leave the head on for dramatic appearance, but most people panic at the sight. Use a sharp knife to make 3 or 4 diagonal slits on the body that are big enough for lemon slices. Slice half of the lemon into thin slices. Rub a light coating of olive oil over fish, then squeeze the other half of lemon over it, and rub in some black pepper. Rub or press 1 tablespoon of dill into slits on the body, and insert lemon slices firmly. Place flounder on a large piece of aluminum foil, and fold the sides up high around fish. There should be enough foil to seal into a packet, although you want it open for now.
  3. 3 Place fish onto the grill or smoker, and throw a couple of handfuls of soaked wood chips onto the coals. Close the lid and smoke thoroughly for about 10 minutes. Once fish has been flavored by smoke, you can seal up the foil and move to direct heat if you like, but I prefer to smoke it until done. When fish is done, flesh should flake easily with a fork.
  4. 4 Remove fish from the grill using the foil as a handle, and garnish with remaining fresh dill.
