Foxy's Dills Ingredients   Cucumbers Dill Vinegar Sugar Coarse Salt Garlic Clove (optional but better with) Jars Procedure           Sterilize jars. Scrub cucumbers. Place a good portion of dill in bottom of jar. Place cucs in jar & more dill on top. Add a garlic clove.   Add: 1/2 cup vinegar 2 TBS sugar 1 1/4 TBS coarse salt   Fill jars with boiling water. Seal jars & put in hot canner bath for 15 min. till cucs change colour.  (Qts. 15 min. pints 10 min.) Note:  This recipe is for quart sealers and if you use pints, just cut the recipe in half for each jar.  If you cut a garlic clove, use a plastic knife.  It won't affect the garlic, but a metal knife will make it turn grey.  You can do one jar at a time or as many jars as you can fill.  There is no brine to mix & boil or waste.  If you have more jars than your canner will handle, do not add the boiling water to them until you are ready to remove the first batch from the hot bath.  I have been making dills like this forever, never liked the other recipes!    Another variation is to slice the cucumbers (across, not lenthwise) & fill the jars (pints) using the same procedure with ingredients cut in half.  I call them dill chips when done this way.

Melt 2 T butter in medium saucepan. Add four, salt and pepper; cook until bubbly. Add milk; stir well. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Coombine potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, onion, salt, and pepper in lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole. Add white sauce; blend lightly. Melt remaining 1 T butter. Add bread crumbs; mix well. Sprinkly buttered crumbs over casserole. Bake at 350* F 30 minutes. Serve.
