Directions:
Scrub cukes with a stiff brush. Let stand overnight in cold water. Dry cukes.
Wash quart size* canning jars. Be sure jars have no nicks.
(*must use quart sized jars)
Into each jar put one head dill, one clove garlic, small piece hot pepper. Pack cukes tightly into jars. Put ⅛ tsp alum top of cukes. Cover cukes with hot (boiling) brine and seal.

Brine:
Bring ingredients to a boil and keep it simmering while filling jars.
Boil jar lids and caps, put on filled jars while hot
Jars will make a ‘pop’ when sealed. The tops should not have any ‘give’ if sealed. If not sealed , the process can be repeated.

I’m not sure when they are ready to eat. My tradition is saving them to serve at Thanksgiving.
