For pints..plenty of fresh dill, half clove of garlic, half teaspoon of peppercorns, quarter teaspoon of mustard seed. Double for quarts. Brine..2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons pickling salt. It takes alot of brine. Hot water bath 10 min for pints, 15 for quarts. Today I tried not water bathing 9 jars. 9 fails. It did not work.

Get r done Dana. We went from being really dry here to raining every day. 29 fields ready hopefully get a small cutting window weds thru sat to get a few done
