Cooking Recipe Peppy Dill Wedges
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
Cut large cucumber lengthwise in quarters, then in 1" long pieces.
Combine cucumber, garlic, if desired, and salt in a glass bowl. Cover
with ice cubes. Let stand in a cool place at least 6 hours or
overnight. Drain well.
Combine vinegar, water, dill seed and crushed red pepper in a
saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add drained cucumbers, return to boil.
Cover and cook 2 min. Remove garlic cloves. Spoon into hot sterilized
jars. Wipe jar rims. Seal.
MY NOTE: this recipe did not call for processing in a hot water bath
so I made 1/2 batch and kept them in the fridge. Similar recipe in
Bernardin Guide to Home Preserving calls for processing 10 minutes at
altitudes up to 1000 ft.
