12 -20 cloves garlic, sliced (1 clove per jar)
12 cups water
4 cups vinegar
3/4 cup pickling salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
to taste carrot, sliced (optional)
Directions:
1. How many cucumbers? Who knows. Obviously lots.
2. Wash cukes and rub off spines.
3. Arrange in sterilized jars, add dill, garlic, and a few sliced carrots, if using.
4. Bring water, vinegar, salt, and sugar to a boil and pour into jars.
5. Seal jars (by hand) then immerse jars in hot water bath for a few minutes to seal.
