1. Begin by sterilizing your glass jars. To do this, I simply boil water in my electric kettle and pour the hot water in and around the jars. Pour the water out and set jars on the counter, ready to fill.
2. In the bottom of the jars, place fresh dill, garlic, and peppercorns (if using). Then slice cucumbers to desired thickness.
3. Pack sliced cucumbers into the Mason jars. Really pack them in, because once the brine is added, any large gaps in the cucumber slices will be obvious, and you want to use up as much cucumber as you can.
4. On the stovetop, combine vinegar, water, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir until the salt dissolves. Take pot off of heat and slowly pour the brine over your packed jars of cucumbers. Fill until the cucumbers are just covered, but don’t fill to the very top of the jar. Leave a little head room.

1. Sterilize your preserving jars with either boiling water or by placing them in an oven at 130°C/265°F for thirty minutes. Whatever your method of sterilization, allow the jars to cool before packing them with your ingredients. While they're cooling, take your jar's lids and place them in bowl of boiling hot water. Leave them there until you need to fit them onto the jars.
2. Wash your gherkins and start packing them into your jars. If they're small, pop them in whole but if medium to large cut them into slices. This helps to get more into the jar and also for easier serving once the jar is opened. For each quart of pickles you'll add half a teaspoon of black peppercorns, two whole garlic cloves and plenty of dill.
3. Make the brine: for approximately every four quarts of tightly packed gherkins you'll need to bring two quarts of water and one quart of white vinegar to a boil. Add 1/2 cup of salt and stir until dissolved. Let this cool until just warm and then pour it into each of the jars, filling to a centimeter (just less than 1/2") below the top of the jar's brim.
4. Clean the tops of the jars then fit on your preserving lids and screw the rings on. Most every preserving recipe will tell you to not over-tighten the rings but in my experience I've found that it's best to twist them on fully but not super tight. If they're too loose then the contents of your jars can leak out in the water bath.
