What is the difference between Dill Pickles and Kosher Dill Pickles?

11 years ago

All the approved dill pickle recipes I've ever used include garlic but my DH says that the difference is that non-Kosher dills do not include garlic, therefore, all Kosher dills have garlic in the brine and/or jar. I don't think I even have a recipe for non-Kosher dills. What is the difference here?

And, so the question number two is - why are they called "Kosher"?

They are called 'kosher' because the flavor is linked in most folks minds to the traditional Kosher Dill (supervised by a Rabbi) from the pickle companies of New York. The name just sticks. And the garlic is the primary difference although they may also include some additional pickling spices and greater amounts of dill.

There are many dill pickle recipes that do not include garlic including those in the BBB, Joy of Pickling, and on NCHFP. But when garlic is added along with the dill then they become 'kosher' dills.
