Hotel Ohio Pickles

Submitted By: Margaret Garrett

Ingredients

• 3 dozen unpeeled cucumbers, sliced
• 1/2 cup pickling salt
• 1 quart white vinegar
• 3 cups sugar
• 2 or 3 teaspoons black pepper
• 8 cloves garlic
• 4 or 5 red hot peppers, sliced
• Chopped fresh dill

Instructions

Place salt in enough water to cover sliced cucumbers. Do not heat water. Soak for two hours; drain. Put in quart jars.
Mix together sugar, vinegar, and black pepper. Pour over cucumbers in jars, adding more vinegar if needed. Divide garlic, peppers, and dill equally among the jars.
Seal jars with lids; refrigerate. Turn jars back and forth gently for about one week to keep black pepper, garlic, and dill circulated throughout the cucumbers.
