Crunchy Garlic Dill Pickles

I have tried several dill pickle recipes and this is by far my favorite, Garlic Dill Pickles from Food in Jars.  Artsy girl and I got busy and chopped away the afternoon.  We made 14 pints of homemade crunchy dill pickles.  Every fall, she LOVES getting out a fresh jar of pickles (Mommy does too)!  We made slices as well as spears...just for a little variety.  We tweaked the recipe a little to make a larger batch.
