As I mentioned above, these are NOT low-carb - but it is one of my favorite pickling recipes - similar to the sliced hamburger pickle - in fact, if you have a "crinkle" cutter, that would add a nice touch. The slices are quite crunchy, too.


Reduced-Sodium Sliced Dill Pickles Yield: About 8 pints

4 lbs. (3”-5”) Pickling Cucumbers
6 cups vinegar (5 percent)
6 cups sugar
2 tablespoon canning or pickling salt
1 ½ teas. celery seed
1 ½ teas mustard seed
2 large onions, thinly sliced
8 heads fresh dill (or large sprigs)

Wash cucumbers. Trim 1/16 inch slice off each end and discard. Cut cucumbers into ¼ inch slices. Combine vinegar, sugar, salt, celery and mustard seeds in large saucepan. Bring mixture to boiling.
Place 2 slices onion and ½ dill head on bottom of each sterile canning jar. Fill jars with cucumber slices, leaving ½ inch head space. Add 1 slice of onion and ½ dill head on top. Pour hot pickling solution over cucumbers, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims, adjust lids, and process pints jars in boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
