First time pickles

[6GRILLZNTN]

Followed Al’s recipe, but boiled the jars to make them shelf stable. The wait is going to be terrible.

Nice. Love me some home made pickles

Once the wait is over and you try them I'm sure they won't be your last. I make several different kinds. Took 3 jars to my daughter today- she loves them also.

Nice pickles Dave, it’s gonna be a hell of a wait!

I love following along with the non-smoker related stuff just as much as the smoked meats. I learn so much, can't wait to hear how they are!

I grew up on my Grandmother's homemade pickles. I thought it was time to make my own. Happy 4th!

I can't wait either. Happy 4th, and most importantly, GO VOLS!

Garlic dill pickles UPDATE! READY TO EAT IN 3 DAYS WITH VAC CANISTER

I love dill pickles and I have been toying with dill pickle recipes for years. This one is the best I have ever come up with. All you pastrami guys need to try this, because a good pastrami sandwich needs a great garlic dill. Here is the recipe: 4 - 1 pint canning jars 2 lbs. pickling cukes ...

Roadside stands around here are starting to have fresh cukes. I'm waiting for the pickling cukes to show up. Then I'll do 5 to 10 pound batches. I use either Al's recipe. Or one based on his recipe. I just opened a jar that I did last Sept. The color on them is perfect. And still just as crunchy. Thanks to the Al's tip on soaking them in ice water. And using pickle crisp.

You're making me hungry!!! lol I just made a batch, but wish I had Al's recipe before. I'm going to try and make it work for green tomatoes cuz I loves me some pickled green maters!!

Should work just fine . I have 2 jars of radish sliced up , and do jalapenos using it also .
