Homestyle Kosher Dill Pickles

To each quart jar add:

1 Head fresh dill

Select fresh, firm cucumbers. Wash and pack in jars.

Bring to a boil:

2 Qts. water

Pour hot solutions over cucumbers and seal jars. Pickles will be ready in 3-4 weeks, depending on size of cucumbers. For plain dill pickles, omit garlic.
