Homemade Dill Pickle Chips Recipe
Ingredients:
8-9 Small to Medium Pickling Cucumbers
6 Cups spring water
1/2 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Kosher Dill Pickle Mix
1/3 Cup Canning
4 Cloves of Garlic
4 Fresh dill heads
1 Teaspoon Mixed Pickling Spice
Directions:
Wash the cucumbers you will use to make into dill pickle chips, but don’t scrub. Slice the cucumbers into 1/4″-1/8″ slices.
Layer the cucumber slices, garlic, and dill heads into the canning jars.
In a small bowl mix vinegar, water, salt, and mixed pickling spice. Stir until the salt has dissolved.
Pour the brine over the cucumber slices, if necessary place something heavy over the dill pickle chips to keep them submerged. Cover the top of the jar with cheesecloth and secure with a rubber band so bugs can’t get in. Leave on the counter for 2-4 days out of the sunshine until they taste like pickles.
When you’ve finished making dill pickle chips, place a lid on top of the jar and secure it.
Store the dill pickle chips in your fridge for up to 6 months as long as they are covered in brine. If at some point you see foam or bubbles appear on the top, simply spoon it off. If you have leftover pickling brine you can store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
