Some whole cucumbers |
Cucumber spears |
Garlic |
Dill |
Dill goes in each jar. |
Garlic also goes in each jar. |
Waiting for the water to boil. (This pic was taken when we were heating up the water the first time; we had to heat it up again because we had to wait to get more vinegar to finish the pickles!) |
Boiling the jar lids so that the rubber will get soft |
This is when we were putting the juice mixture into the jars. |
The jars are all filled now with cucumbers, dill, garlic, and a liquid mixture. |
Some of the jars in the canning pot |
Sometimes jars will break while in the pot (as shown in above picture). Only one of the jars broke! |
