How To Make sunshine pickles

  • Step 1
    I know some of the measurements are vague, but I'm going to put down the way it is written. Have you ever tried to get exact measurement out of a grandmother and its usually a dab of this a pinch of that. Well they write it the same way. Here goes.
  • Step 2
    Wash cucumbers and slice. Place in bottom of jar, next add dill weed, red hot pepper, 1 clove of garlic.. Pack cucumbers on top of mixture place 1/4 tsp alumn on top of cucumbers.. In pan place red vinegar, water, pickling salt, and bring to a rolling boil. Pour into jar to cover, I'm not sure if you need to cool the liquid or not. Screw lid down snug and seal.
  • Step 3
    Place in sunshine for 14 days.
