How to Make Crunchy Shelf Stable Pickles

If you are like me, you may have struggled with home made pickles always being a little on the mushy side. I found a new method for canning them that keeps them nice and crunchy. And it is food safe.

Brother you are the Best. Looks like another year of cases of Garden Pickles this year.

But Crunchy 😎

Those pickles look good and yes, we could hear the crunch! Thanks for the info on how to achieve that!

I know that high acidic foods are much less likely to get botulism. That's why pressure canning low acidic foods, like green beans, is recommended. And now I see a lot of videos out there where people are water bath canning meats and low acidic vegetables. I understand that pressure canners only have existed over recent decades and out ancestors canned without them for centuries, but honestly, why not be safe? Also, if you boil a canned vegetable for 20 minutes, that should kill and botulism present. Thanks for the recipe.

Could I use mrs wages brine pickle mix? It calls for vinegar but I’m not sure how much. Thank you.

I'd probably get an immersion circulator that I can set to 180 degrees so I'm not fussing with the stove too much. Of course, I'd keep an eye on it to make sure it stays above, but there would be a lot less babysitting. Then I wonder if I could find a thermometer that would alert me if the temperature got too low. Maybe program an Arduino to do that.

Thanks for the video. I canned some pickles last night. Was frustrated when one of my jars didn't seal (My fault for not wiping down the rim of the jar) and had to start over. Twice... Safe to say those might be a little cooked. haha Labeled them my "Pain in the Ass Pickles." Not only for that, but for the fact that I put about 5 chopped serrano peppers in the jar. I was so mad after the second attempt that I was about to jam the rest of my serranos into the jar.

One of my first things I canned 30 years ago. Get too many cucumbers some years.

Can I use Celtic Sea Salt or normal Sea salt for this?

Processed is bad just ferment them with dill garlic and salt with a bayleaf works great all natural
