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.

WEBOct 24, 2020 · Pickle spear and rounds. For pickle rounds or “chips” just cut the cucumbers into thin slices 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick . A little trick to cut …

1. Cut at least a 1/4” off all the ends. Then choose how to cut your cucumber. For pickle rounds, slice the cucumbers no thinner than about ⅛-inch thick. For spears, slice in half lengthwise, then keep cutting each in half till you have eight spears per cucumber. Depending on the size jar, you may need to slice the spears through the middle so they’re not too tall for your jar. (This is especially why I like the rounds.) 3*
2. Place the cucumbers into a wide-mouth jar about 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Add fresh dill if desired. 5*
