First ever batch O pickles

[SmokinVOLfan]

Been reading up for awhile and finally got the time yesterday to do some pickles for the first time.

I followed the recipe for Al’s garlic dills and made a couple tweaks here and there.

Soaked in ice water for 4 hours.

Sliced them into Spears then threw back into the ice water while I got everything else ready.

Packed the jars full then added the spears.

The two off to the right side I added several fresh jalapeños and habaneros with the seeds.

Heated the brine and then poured over the spears to the brim.

Got 7 jars out of 15 cukes.

Money. Now the hard part gotta wait at least six weeks like Al recommends.

Bonus pic. Ended the evening with grilled bacon cheeseburgers using homemade bacon and grilled Hawaiian bread. Note the fine china too.

Looks like a great batch of pickles. I'll be checking in at the six week mark to see how they turned out. Especially the Jalapeno's.

Point for sure

Spicy garlic dills FTW!
Great pictorial post with excellent pictures.
I Like it a lot!

I just did pickled eggs and onions, now I got to be patient to.

Vol , those are gonna be good . I'm down to 4 jars of Spears and 3 jars of slices . Grew all my cukes last year too. I add the jalapeños, they get pretty warm the longer they sit
Be watchin .

I wanted to do some slices and chips too but figured being my first time I would see how they turn out first. Love hot stuff so I’m looking forward to the spicy ones

I learned how to become patient right after I started smoking cheese and had to wait on it so hoping this won’t be too hard haha

Do you use the garlic and all with the jalapeños? Thinking about doing some of them and some asparagus as well but wasn’t sure

Yes . I do the same recipe because I'll do them at the same time as the pickles . Fresh green beans are good too .
