My grandmother and mother used to make them all the time. I refuse to eat store bought dills. I'll see if I can get the recipe for you. I know it has dill, mustard seeds, birds eye peppers, vinegar, salt, water. I will try to find out the exact directions on how to make them. I used to help my grandmother for years make them.

We make lots of bread and butter picles every year. We add jalapeno peppers to them though. Some people call these good & evil's. Very good, sweet and hot.

Not sure about the alum but the pickleing salt you can get at the store. Only problem its a big sack.
|
RE: Makeing your own dill pickels?
alum is in the spice section,comes in small boxes.(it is something the old folks used for cooking and cold sores to dry the skin.)pickling salt is the same. you can also get it in smaller packs, with the pickling seasonings and jars.
just ask in Winn/Dixie they have both. |
RE: Makeing your own dill pickels?
thanks for the info ill give it a shot sometime towards summer once my cucumbers start growing good, I just tilled the garden up yesterday so it wont be to much longer.
|
RE: Makeing your own dill pickels?
I came up with 1 more question for you, what sort of dill should I use? Ive never grown spices before and I was looking in lowes the other day and they had about 4 different kinds of dill and I couldent make up my mind. I want to make this all from "scratch" with things I grew in my garden this year and dills the only thing I have left to plant. Thanks, sean

RE: Makeing your own dill pickels?
Any dill will work but you should start it indoors a few weeks before you plant your cukes. then they will both be ready to use at the same time.

RE: Makeing your own dill pickels?
rusty ; be sure to keep an eye on the dill plants. there are butterfly worms that will eat it up in a few days. they are cream colored with black rings around them.
I beleve they are the sowellotail butterfly worms.they love the dill plants. |
RE: Makeing your own dill pickels?
I plant dill between my tomato plantsas a trap plant for tomato horn worms They like the dill and leave my tomatoes alone. Like tree climber says swallow tail butterflies lay their eggs on it too . The catapillers are green and have yellow and black stripes around their body not lenght-wise.

RE: Makeing your own dill pickels?
I went ahead and bought me 2 different types and tossed them in flower pots the other day so we'll see how that goes. Thanks for the info,sean
