Sous Vide Dill Pickles

People are always asking me when I'm going to make these dills again. They will last, at least a year. Deliciously crunchy. I'd say this recipe is for about a gallon-sized jar, however, I alter it to accommodate however many fresh pickles or cucumbers I have.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water

  • 2 cups white vinegar

  • ½ cup kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon alum

  • 12 pounds pickling cucumbers

  • 6 cloves garlic

  • 6 heads (flowers) dill

Directions

  1. Combine water, vinegar, salt, and alum in a liquid measure.

  2. Layer cucumbers, garlic, and dill in a resealable plastic bag. Pour brine mixture into the bag and seal securely.

  3. Immerse the bag into a heat-proof container of water with a sous vide cooker. Set temperature to 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). cook for 2 1/2 hours.

  4. Remove bag and set aside to cool, about 1 hour. Transfer to a jar and store in the refrigerator for 24 hours before serving.

Cook's Note:

To make these "sunny dills" without a sous vide cooker, fill a gallon-sized jar with cucumbers, garlic, dill, and brine. Cover tightly and store in the sun for 3 days (4 days for cloudy weather).
