Canning method
- Sterilize pint jars. Wash cucumbers and remove blossoms; drain. Leave whole, cut into spears or slice. Combine Mrs. Wages® Quick Process Kosher Dill Pickles Mix, vinegar and water into a large nonreactive pot. Bring mixture just to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture dissolves.
- Pack cucumbers into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Evenly divide hot pickling liquid among the packed jars, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Remove air bubbles and cap each jar as it is filled. If more liquid is needed for proper headspace, add a mix of 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water.
- Process pints 10 minutes in a boiling water bath canner. Test jars for airtight seals according to manufacturer's directions. If jars do not completely seal, refrigerate and consume within two weeks. Product is ready to eat after 24 hours. Before serving, chill to enhance flavor and crispness.
- Processing: As published by Mrs. Wages: "Process pints 10 minutes" (boiling water bath canner) - 10 minutes.
