Eureka Cucumber
The Eureka Hybrid Cucumber is both a pickling and a slicing cucumber. Use the smaller ones (2-4 in.) for pickling, and the larger for slicing. This versatile cuke has a rich, deep green color and matures in about two months. Try the following easy recipe, or wait for the cucumbers to grow large enough for slicing.
Two secrets to getting long-lastingly crisp pickles: 1) Soak cucumbers in ice-water for at least two (but no more than eight) hours before putting them in jars, and 2) make sure the water you pour into the jars is boiling.

CRISP DILL PICKLES

Mix the ingredients and bring to a
rolling boil. Have jars sterilized. Pack cucumbers in hot jars;
add dill weed, large garlic clove
and 1 jalapeno pepper. Pour hot solution over pickles, seal and
turn the jars (lid down) in boiling
water for about 4 minutes.
