@Jonathan Bronner no.do not use table salt, it has iodine and will ruin your pickles.Use kosher salt, sea salt or pickling salt, they all will work. if you use kosher salt go with the weight and not volume as the grains are larger so you will need to put more volume wise, hence go weightwise which will be same weight as the other two types mentioned earlier.
@@aa-vb9tj it will soften it up. And depending on the amount of iodine it will also make it have a sludgy film on it. Sort of a bit slippery and unpleasant. Sorry but english is not my first language. So I may not articulate what I'm trying to say properly.
@@aramartirossian995 don't apologize, your english seems very good to me. Thank you for answering my question. Do you know why iodine does this to pickles? And does iodine do this to other foods as well, such as carrots?
Using this method for 5 years and they come out great every year,add lots of garlic,dill and I put some hot peppers in to spice them up a bit,I dont use any of that pickle spice crap just fresh ingredients and they come out fine ,I let mine sit for about a month and a half on counter before eating ,but once your relatives find out you make them they all want a jar lol..have to hide em....
The produce vendors at our local farmers market loved the pickles we gave them after we got a deal on a large amount of cucumbers. Thank You for the recipe!
Success! Just taste tested mine after letting them 'sit' for 6 weeks after following this How To video. I used my Burpee II Hybrid cukes I grew this summer in my garden. I was afraid they would end up crunch-less - but these turned out GREAT! THanks for posting the video!
Thank you !❤️for the great information !! I will be starting my Pickle factory tomorrow , my garden went crazy with pickles ! Will let you know how they turn out ! Gary K
Wow- thank you. Nothing goes down at a dinner party like the classic 'dill pickle'. It's safe to say my fellow PTA moms enjoyed this tasty treat. I feel the dill pickle reflects who I am; interesting, different and vibrant - there's not much more I could ask for.
made these today 4-6 weeks? cant wait! Used fresh Dill from my garden a lotts of dill. I did add fresh onion as well as garlic and tarmac. Hope this helps some people out there :)
If you're really in a hurry, just take your home grown cucumbers and put them in a jar of leftover brine from your favorite store bought pickles for at least a day. Slice them to speed the pickling
i did this a couple yrs ago they turned out excellent ...getting ready to do them tonight again so yay...best video...same one for the bread and butter method...the food channel same person
Once you initially tighten the lids onto the jars (they should be *loosely* tightened), placing the jars into the bath does two things. The heat kills any bacteria, plus the hot expanding air will escape the jar (because the lids are on loosely). Once they cool, it creates a partial vacuum. This is why the lids pop down, indicating you have a good seal.
There's absolutely no comparison between store bought and homemade pickles. I love homemade pickles because they just have that"Boom" of dill flavor and are so fresh. The store bought variety has probably been pumped full of chemical preservatives and it really affects the flavor and quality. Homemade FTW. :)
Big Bacon Fan it cost more for homemade then store bought though...like once you bought all of those ingredients I NEVER heard of you have to wait for 2 to 3 days before you can eat them...dill pickles at home and dill pickles at the store taste the same and BTW when I'm craving pickles I want them now not 4-6 weeks later like WTF?!
Pretty Pink Gamer If your a gardener like me and then you can pickle the extras...but make sure you grow cucumbers that are for pickling. English and regular varieties get soft and mushy....also, the JARS are reusable...you can by new rings and seals.... These make great Christmas presents and that's what I do with my jars...the people give them back begging for more!
You can still use the English Variety they just turn mushy quicker than the regular pickling cucumbers. I often will use the English varieties as filler for bread and butter pickles and sweet relish
This is awesome I love this, this is informative big time. Know what to do now, but don't have one of those jar grabbers though. Thank you for your time to show how to make Dill Pickle's. You are awesome. Hope you got other recipe "how to" video's.
Made these last weekend and again this weekend...and will next weekend..lol . Same recipe but I put 6 peppercorns and 1 tsp mustard seed per pint. Fair worthy so I've been told.
My wife underestimated her green thumb this year and I have an abundance of cucumbers. Thanks to your video a bunch of people I know are getting some pickles.
I am very interested in making my own pickles. I like how easy and clear this video is. Thank you. The only thing you didn't explain (because I have never done this before, I have no idea) is what is the water bath for and how does it work?
Nice video. One mistake I made was to over-tighten the jars, which resulted in the lid warping and not sealing properly. If you look at the Ball website, they mention this. The say that you should "finger tighten" them. Apparently the way the jars work is that the air inside has to be able to escape as they pickles cook and if the lids are too tight that won't happen. So taking a towel and really screwing the lids down on there is probably not a good idea. At least not with Ball jars.
@ninjafree9neasy thanks for helping me out, so are you doing that to "cook" it a bit or to seal the lid. sorry i have never try to put something in a jar before.
Cold packed method: Room-temp cucumbers Sterilize jars: boil in hot water Pack TIGHT in jars with cucumbers, whole or quartered- leave half inch at top Add: dill, 2 cloves of garlic BRINE: 2 c water 2 c white vinegar 1/4 c pickling salt Boil and keep at simmer until ready to pour into jars Wipe jar rim with clean cloth Place sterile lid on jar Add ring to jar Place in water-bath for 15 minutes LEAVE THEM ALONE for 24 to 48 hours The jar will be concave when they come out but, convex when sealed If one doesn’t seal, put it in fridge and eat after 4-6 weeks.
Yes... bass ackwards! How to remember concave vs. convex.... I'm sure many of you might use this method but for me I thought it up myself. It does not mean thousands of others have not. Concave is like "Caved In" and therefore convex is the opposite... not caved in. Here's a good one... I created this one for myself decades ago also... Stalactites and Stalagmites, like the bottom to top and top to bottom icicles in a cave... just remember the T of TITES... T is for top - the ones hanging down like growing up in Minnesota Winters lol. Stalactites = Top Down. Whew!
Support your local farmers by bringing back methods of the past. Destroy corporate agri, they are killing you. Buying fruits and vegs at Walmart is the quick and lazy way.
***** Too many people are worried about "Right now!" They don't realize we're in the fiscal dire straights we are in, because so many people can't do anything for themselves anymore...
No, some table salts may have anti-caking agents in them that could (probably will) ruin your pickles. Pickling salt is that is fine grained so that it dissolves easier, and has no anti-caking agents. I couldn't find it easily, so I went to the nearby health foods store and bought fine grained Celtic Sea salt, which has no additives, either.
As to sterilization, should I also sterilize the canning funnel? And, how important is the sterilization, as you are using hands to pack the cucumbers. Neither your hands, nor the cucumbers are sterile (very unlikely). Thanks for the great video.
@TheFoodChannel I planted pickling and long english cucumbers this year but for some reason didn't have much success with the pickling variety. Can I just slice the long english into rounds and use this same method with those? Such a GREAT video!! You definitely make it look easy and pain-free. :)
I'd wondered if you can re-use store bought leftover pickle juice. The answer to that is yes! At least it works for my Jalapeños. I just find some on sale cut them up, refill my pickle jar and check back in a few weeks and they are good to go.
this is a great vid on how to make your own dill pickles. would adding a jalapeno or other chiles be okay? and can i use regular salt instead of pickling salt?
I always make holes in them with a fork. Lots of garlic and dill. I then add my HOT liquid of salt and vinegar Not too much salt. Let cool and then I put them in Frig. ENJOY!
I am eating pickles so I just was like "hmm I wonder how they make pickles" now I'm here
+Carissa Reasner That's crazy
+paintball3747 I couldn't believe it when i read it.
+Phatlip I know like who'd thought
sameeeee
Exactly what was happening to me
For a video that was made 10 years ago... DAM THESE GRAPICHS ARE GOOOD
Not like it was filmed on VHS 10 years ago, lawl
I feel like a time traveler seeing all this comments from 5 years ago
This was when RUclips was holy and pure.
What?? Lol.. making pickles is holy and pure??
+Tatianna Minter Pure natural holy water! lol
I wish my gf could make it for me 😟
Its 2020 and i couldn't agree more.
RUclips was never holy or pure, and its becoming more sanitized as it ages, not less (which is unfortunate).
I made some exactly this way (except used sea salt instead of pickling salt) a few years ago. They turned out absolutely AMAZING.
@Jonathan Bronner no.do not use table salt, it has iodine and will ruin your pickles.Use kosher salt, sea salt or pickling salt, they all will work. if you use kosher salt go with the weight and not volume as the grains are larger so you will need to put more volume wise, hence go weightwise which will be same weight as the other two types mentioned earlier.

Thanks for taking the time to share this information. I made these pickles with the addition of pickling spice. Everyone loved them!!

Thanks for the video . I had never heard of putting them upside down in a shallow pan. I'm glad I found your channel
You did a great job!!! My wife just loves you!
I followed this recipe, but I used 1.5 tsp of dill spice instead. They turned out great. The whole fam loves em
Sounds awesome and pretty simple, gonna give it a shot. thanks!

I KNOW! I want my pickles NOW!
just start this now, and que this vid to play in 3 weeks!
Sounds like months to me 😆
Ok, I just waited six weeks to try my pickles. BEST EVER!
I used your video and just canned for the very first time. The sound of the seals popping is satisfying.
i did this a couple yrs ago they turned out excellent ...getting ready to do them tonight again so yay...best video...same one for the bread and butter method...the food channel same person
thanks for the short and concise video. i got more cucumbers than i thought 2 packs of seeds would yield. its pickle time! 🍻
We keep coming back to this video every year so don't ever take it down. :)
Thanks for the post. Good job.
Thanks, simple and to the point 👍
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Yayy, I learned pickeling and how to make air sealed jars
I can't believe this was done 12yrs ago. Great job good info. Thank you
Right? Truly ahead of its time.
Great video....I especially liked the dog in the back window at the 1.57 point! :)
Thank you! No one mentions this anywhere!
Makes my mouth water. I will try this out
great video, very simple to do!
Thanks enjoyed your show farmer girl🌹👩🌾

Perfect time to start during corona time.
me and my brother are making pickles tomorrow i'm so excited!!! first time-ers!! thanks for the crash course on pickling 101 8D
how did they turn out
I used this recipe with green tomatoes, hello just as yummy!
Orka is good too
Unripe tomatoes?
Do they taste like pickles? Very curious.
Great, thank you very much
I like that!!
I'm going to make these today.
how can you dislike this video-nice show!
dill pickles are my FAV food :D
Thank you for the video and information. Is ok to ad that boil weather on the jars ? Will not break ?
Why am I watching this at 1am on a work night? I don't even cook food lol
I really love that she just whatever pot she had to sterlize the jars. Your eally don't need half that stuff that comes with a canning set.

Omg I love pickles. My moms going to be like oh gosh Sandra knows how to am

Me too
Hmmm....I'll have to try this.
Thanks 😊
Thanks Buddy.
Cold packed method:
Room-temp cucumbers
Sterilize jars: boil in hot water
Pack TIGHT in jars with cucumbers, whole or quartered- leave half inch at top
Add: dill, 2 cloves of garlic
BRINE:
2 c water

1/4 c pickling salt
Boil and keep at simmer until ready to pour into jars
Wipe jar rim with clean cloth
Place sterile lid on jar
Add ring to jar
Place in water-bath for 15 minutes
LEAVE THEM ALONE for 24 to 48 hours
The jar will be concave when they come out but, convex when sealed
If one doesn’t seal, put it in fridge and eat after 4-6 weeks.
Water bath & no pressure??

3 cup of water
How high is the water in the water bath pot? Does it cover the jars?
