One popular recipe featuring Hoosier Hill Farm products is Dill Pickles. This recipe requires the following ingredients:

• 3 1/2 tsp Hoosier Hill Farms Alum Powder (1/2 tsp per jar)
• 10 lbs cucumbers
• 3 pints apple cider vinegar
• 1 1/4 cup pickling salt
• 4 1/2 quarts water
• 7 sprigs fresh dill
• 7 grape leaves
• 7 cloves garlic, peeled

The preparation process is as follows:

1. Prepare your canner and equipment by sterilizing jars and heating lids and rings. Fill the canner with water and bring to a boil.
2. In a large pot, combine 4 1/2 quarts of water, pickling salt, and vinegar. Bring this brine to a boil.
3. Pack cucumbers into canning jars, squeezing them in tightly with little remaining space. To each jar, add 1 grape leaf, 1 sprig of dill, 1 garlic clove, and 1/2 tsp alum powder.
4. Ladle the brine into the jars, leaving 1/4 inch of head space at the top. Wipe the mouths of the jars clean, cover with lids, and tighten the rings.
5. Place the filled jars into the canner and boil for 10 minutes. Allow the jars to cool, then store the pickles for 3 weeks before eating.
