These sous vide dill pickles are deliciously crunchy and will last at least a year. People are always asking me when I’m going to make them again. I’d say this recipe makes enough to fill a gallon-sized jar; however, I alter it to accommodate the number of fresh cucumbers I have.

Ingredients

  • 12 pounds pickling cucumbers

  • 6 cloves garlic

  • 6 heads (flowers) dill

  • 4 cups water

  • 2 cups white vinegar

  • ½ cup kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon alum powder

Directions

  1. Layer cucumbers, garlic, and dill in a resealable plastic bag. Combine water, vinegar, kosher salt, and alum in a liquid measure; pour into the bag and seal securely.

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

  3. Remove the bag and set aside to cool, about 1 hour. Transfer pickles and brine to a jar and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.

Tips

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 three days — or four days if it's cloudy.
