Grandma's German Dill Pickles

I've canned a few quarts of these this year, and after waiting the excruciating 6 weeks, we finally got to try them.  They take me right back to Grandma and Grandpa's backyard:) yummy!

2 c water

1 3/4 c white vinegar

1 c sugar

4 tsps salt

Combine all ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off heat. Set aside until jars are prepared

Onions, roughly chopped, about 1/2 per jar

Garlic, roughly chopped, about 2-3 cloves per jar

Dill weed

peppercorns

cucumbers

Stuff each bottle with onion, garlic, a couple sprigs of dill, and about 3-4 peppercorns. The fill with cucumbers, really stuff them in there! 

Fill jar with liquid leaving a 1/4 inch headspace. Process for 5 mins in a water bath.  Wait 6 weeks until enjoying them!
