Can I use dill seeds that are not completely dry and brown to make pickles? I have buckets of cucumbers and lots of dill plants that are not quite ready.
My sister in law makes absolutely great dill pickles. She buys a couple of bunches of the green dill plant and we just stuffed a branch or two and stem pieces as well, per jar. None of the seeds were brown as I recall. Maybe just use a little more if you are used to using them brown.

My answer is no. I've canned for years and tried every recipe under the sun. I don't think any really taste like most store bought brands. Now, there are a couple store canned varieties that taste like home-canned. Mrs Wages has a few mixes out that are the closest I could find that taste like the store ones. It really doesn't bother me, I just like pickles, and home canning them gives me lots of variety. My son is pickier and won't eat the home-canned ones. Hope you find one that works for you.
