Made your pickles and the family is asking for more so here I go canning 7 more quarts!

Here's a tip for you. Let your brine cool to just below 140 degrees before you add it to your jars for super crispy pickles.

You can’t beat homemade anything, it’s always the best.

Awesome, grape leaves. My grandma always used them and I never knew why. Thanks for the memory. I talking back in the 1950s.

So fun to see a guy canning!
Plus the pickles are the BEST

I love the idea of salting the cucumbers and riding as much water as possible!!

I cut my cukes for B&B pickles in rounds and add onions. YUM!

I have never done that with the salt for my pickles and mine are always crunchy. I let my brine cool, then add it and that works for me. I love how everyone has "their tricks" and other ways of doing stuff!

I'm 70 and I've made bread and butter pickles and always cut thin round rings with onions and sometimes peppers. I can't wait to see how these come out. I'm down in Mississippi.

My family always used a grape leaf to retain crunch.

My mom always used a cherry leaf in her pickles! Worked great!

I want to tell you about the best cucumbers for crunchy pickles. Try armenian cucumbers. They crawl on the ground and i save seed from the mature cucumbers. I bought the seed from tractor supply. They are a non hybrid so save seed. Ive been saving seed for 40 years.

Great video! I appreciate your sharing your knowledge.

[mamachills]

i was not planning to do any waterbath canning, but you make it look very simple and i picked up some good tips for when i do (next year). but it was well worth watching this video just for the tip about putting spices/garlic etc in the bottom of each jar so that they all have the same amount. this is a great video, i'll be back to learn more! thank you.

Love everything you can make from cucumbers!!! I'm so embarrassed to admit, I purchased the canning jars, all the spices and yes, I bought pickles from a local farmer and then the pandemic hit! So us nurses didn't see the light of day because of work and I never made them. These literally make my mouth water! No more excuses! Thanks for sharing!🙏

I stumbled across your channel this morning, and I am sure glad I did! We are new to homesteading, but I have several years of canning experience. You just taught me a BUNCH! Thanks for the content.

I always used powdered alum for the best crunchy pickles. ❤

[youcooksogay]

Just moved to the burbs from Philly. So this is all new to us. Of all the pickle recipes I’ve watched yours is amazing. I’ve made my great great granny’s Virginia picked but they take weeks but are so worth it. We grew a ton of stuff so we’ll be canning fools this fall.
Thank for the amazing video. (Yours is the first one I hit the like button lol)

[ThePatriarchofMe]

I’m taking my first foray into pickling tomorrow. After multiple tutorials, I like your method the best. I’m looking to achieve everything you covered in this video. Thank you for the tutorial. Pickles first followed by sauce.

[lizhaydon]

looks good. Checked out this stuff below your video but no recipe written up. That would be great for those of us impressed with your method.
