3 Day Sun Pickles Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 large onion cut up
- 1-3 garlic cloves peeled
- 3 quarts of water
- 3/4 cup of pickling salt
- 3/4 cup of vinegar
- 1 bunch of fresh dill
- about 20 pickle cucumbers this depends on how large the cucumbers are that you get. You'll need enough to fill your jar.
Instructions
- Mix water, pickling salt and vinegar in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and boil for five minutes.
- Set to the side and cool for about 5 minutes, or until luke warm.
- In a large gallon sized jar, place dill, cut onion, peeled garlic and cucumbers. Place cucumber last, and fill the jar.
- Pour warm mixture into the jar and put the lid on.
- Set jar outside in the sun for 3 days.
- After three days, open the jar and test a pickle. If it is to your liking, place the jar in the fridge. This will keep the pickles crunchy.
Notes
This can also be broken up into quart size jars for easier use. I suggest using 1 garlic clove and 1-2 sprigs of dill for each smaller jar. We also buy the larger pickling cucumbers so they can be cut into spears and or sliced (for hamburgers).
