Here's mine...
50 oz glass air tight containers...the kind with the snap down type glass lid, but any large jar would do. Type I use pic'd below.
I use dill seed, coriander, caraway seed, mustard seed...get them all on Amazon in bulk packages.
Minced Garlic...I use a lot so I use the Costco/Kirkland brand, comes in 48 oz containers for just a few bucks.
Sugar
Salt...
White distilled vinegar...
Water...
And, pickling cukes. 4-5 cukes for one jar.

Boil 2 cups vinegar and 2 cups of water together. When boiling add 2/3 cup of sugar and tablespoon of salt. Let it dissolve, remove from heat, and let it cool till barely warm.
In jar I use
2-3 heaping tablespoons of dill seed
1 tablespoon caraway seed
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1/2 cup of minced garlic....I like mine "garlickey" so I use a lot.
Wash the cukes and cut the very tip of the stem end off, and quarter the cukes.
Stuff the cukes in the jar, and pour the cooled vinegar/water/sugar/salt over the cukes .
Seal the jar and give it a good shake to mix the solution, and once or twice a day, give em another shake.
Put in fridge for 2-3 days and enjoy. I found letting them sit for 5-7 days makes em perfect.
These will come out sour and very garlickey, like a good kosher pickle or brine pickle like you used to find in the big barrels in mom n pop stores, but you can always adjust the vinegar/garlic/dill to suit your taste.

If you do, don't throw the brine away when the pickles are gone. Can't really use it again for more pickles, but get some sweet onions, Vidalia if possible...slice them thick and throw em in the jar for a week...very tasty..

I’ll have to check that out! :like:
It's a very simple, easy recipe. But unless you're making them to give away, a half recipe is quite sufficient. Will easily make a quart of pickles.

Oh, I’ll definitely have to at least make a full recipe. My son & extended family went through the last batch very quickly!?We all love bread & butter pickles. I’ve tried all different kinds of store bought pickles, & they’re good, but homemade is the best(to us)!

Any of you make your own homemade pickles ?
Got tired of the commercial stuff as I like good garlicky dill pickles that are "crunchy" and make your mouth "pucker" !
Anyone else out there in Ranger Land ?
This is an every year thing at our place.
