Can you tell me how long I need to wait before I can eat the pickles after I seal the jars tightly, or can I start to eat them? My mom had a recipe for making pickles. The recipe said after they were sealed they had to go into the dark for a few months, before we could eat them. We made them from my garden. and had alot of jars. We made a few batches of them. It didn't say like yours to put them in the oven. Please let me know. You can send the answer to me privately.

That's an interesting way to can pickles. Does the oven seal the tops or do you still need to put them in a hot water bath? Also, can you give us a ballpark idea about how many cucumbers to use?
