Old-Fashioned Garlic Pickles

8 pounds small pickling cucumbers, 2–2 1⁄ 2 inches long

3 tablespoons pickling spice

4 cups water

4 cups distilled white vinegar

3⁄4 cup sugar

1⁄ 2 cup pickling salt

7 fresh dill flower heads or sprigs

7 cloves garlic, peeled

Wash and place cucumbers in a large pot, cover with ice cubes, and let sit for 2 hours. Drain and pat dry. Wrap the pickling spice in a small square of cheesecloth and tie securely with a piece of kitchen string. Combine the water, vinegar, sugar, pickling salt, and cheeseclothwrapped pickling spice into a large saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Sterilize 7 (1-quart) jars and lids in boiling water. Pack the cucumbers into the hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1⁄ 2 inch of the top. Place 1 dill head or sprig and 1 clove garlic in each jar. Pour the hot pickling liquid into the jars, filling to within 1⁄4 inch of the rim and discard the spices. Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp paper towel.

Tap the jars to remove any air bubbles, screw on the caps, and process them in a boiling-water canner for 10 minutes, or the time recommended for your area by your county extension agent. Cool the jars and press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring the seal is tight and that the lid does not move up or down at all. (If any jars have not sealed properly, refrigerate them, and eat the pickles within 2 weeks.) Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for at least 1 week before opening.

Makes 7 (1-quart) jars.
