RE: Making Pickles From Cucumbers Post By Jesus (Guest Post) (09/07/2008) What size sterile jars are you suppose to have?

If anyone can answer that question you can email me at jonnycabana AT gmail.com Thanks Report Spam or Abuse RE: Making Pickles From Cucumbers Post By taylor (Guest Post) (07/26/2008) Use pickle juice from other pickles. Put the cucumbers in the jar and then leave for three weeks then they are done! My grandmothers recipe.

Could I get you to send it to my account on yahoo (iyam_leq AT yahoo)?

Wash, prick with a fork, and soak overnight, in ice water. Drain and dry thoroughly. Place 2-3 peeled garlic cloves in the bottom, and a generous helping of fresh dill (one or two whole, clean, tall dill, folded to fit) along the side of clean, hot, sterile jars. Pack cucumbers in jars and place more dill on top. Brine mixture: 2 cups vinegar 1 cup pickling salt (do not use regular salt ) 10 cups water Bring to a boil and pour into cucumber filled, sterile jars, while hot. Seal and let stand in a cool, dark place about 6 weeks before opening. Yields sufficient brine for 4 to 5 quarts of cucumbers. Note: A bushel of cucumbers will yield approximately 48 quarts of pickles.

There are two ways to make pickles: fermentation before the boiling water bath, and fermentation AFTER the boiling water bath. I prefer to just go ahead and process them into my mason jars (boiling water bath) and shelve them.

You can pickle a lot of different vegetables but normally in the U.S. this is so. If it was other than a cucumber it is usually followed by that vegetable as in "pickled onions" or "pickled beets". So they are the same and are different. After you soak cucumbers in a brine for a month or so, they change, become preserved and become what we call "pickles." Hope this explains it.

In my produce store, cucumber and pickles are 2 different things. So, aren't cucumbers and pickles 2 similar yet different items?

He said he put in fresh cucumbers and after a few weeks, they came out just like store-bought pickles.

I use a pickel mix called Mr. Wage's...what I do is make the brine as directed, put it in the frig and as I get cukes the size I want I clean them slice them and drop them in the big jar...every day or so I keep preparing them and drop them in..I use big gallon sized glass jars....I never process these in a water bath...they stay in the frig all the time till they are used...later in the year I divide the big jar up into smaller ones..(jelly jars, peanut butter, etc) ..making sure I have brine to cover the slices...then I make christmasy cloth lid covers and give them as gifts....everyone likes the pickels...I have picked real small cukes, about 2 inches long and put them in the brine too...and they all come out good....
