45 cloves garlic
45 jalapeno peppers
45 red peppers
45 sprigs of dill

Boil:
10 cups water
6 cups vinegar
1 cup pickling salt, kosher salt, or Real Salt

Put garlic, peppers, dill and cukes in jar. Pour brine over everything in jar.

Add:
1/2 tsp. alum to each jar

Screw hot lids onto the jar. Put jars out in the sun for 3 days, turning each jar each day and one day turning them upside down. Bring in the house and put on the shelf. They will be ready in 3 months.
