The last few years I have been trying to come up with a recipe that taste like the pickles my Grandma made when I was a kid. I started a batch 3 days ago and if they taste as good as the smell I think I have a winner. Heres what I used for a 2 gallon batch.<br /> 14 cups water<br /> 1 cup canning salt<br /> 3/4 cup cider vinegar<br /> 2 TBS pickling spice<br /> 1/4-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper<br /> 5-6 large cloves garlic (slightly crushed)<br /> 5-6 heads of fresh dill<br /> 3 green grapes and 2 wild grape leaves<br /><br /> fill crock with cukes and cover with premixed cold brine. put a weighted plate on top to keep the cukes from floating and let stand for about a week. Put pickles in jars, cover with brine and refrigerate.<br /><br /> ps. I posted this on iboats and now when I can't find the recipe all I have to do is hit search.
