One Quart Pickles à la Karen

You aren't always making a big batch of dill pickles. Sometimes there are just enough cucumbers for one jar. 

Put several garlic cloves, fresh dill and small cucumbers in one-quart jar.

Add 2 tb pickling salt and 2 tb sugar.

Bring ¾ cup vinegar to a boil, put in jar, add boiling water to fill. 
Put lid on and shake jar until sugar and salt dissolve.

Add:

2 tb coarse salt

1 tb white sugar

1/2 c vinegar

Pinch of alum

Add more fresh dill, fix with ice cold water and seal jar.

Shake jar a couple of times a day for the first day or two.

Pickles will be ready to eat in ... hm, I'll check that and get back to you!
