Any pickle recipes you willing to share???

[Rusty Shackelford]

I went all in on planting pickling cucumbers this year. Should be ready to start pickling in the next two weeks. Got a recipe that works wonders and is great (I will post it later, but it aint nothing special). But in my zeal to "go all in" with cukes, I have so many growing at this point, I thought it might be nice to venture out and try some new recipes and variations.

I only like dill and dill variants. Bread and Butter or Sweet pickles are only fit for a landfill.

Feel free to share. I promise I wont tell granny that you let out the secret family formula!!

I love sweet pickles! After I eat those, I use the juice to make macaroni salad, potato salad, and sweet and sour meatballs, and more. YUM YUM
I like the dill variety as well.

I've made Alton Brown's Kinda Sorta Sours pickle recipe several times now and by god they are good and zesty. They're refrigerator pickles, but I guess you could can them afterward.

This is a recipe my grandmother got from her older sister, a German from Russia's Volga Basin. (My grandmother was German too, but she was born after the family moved out of Russia.) I haven't tried the recipe, since I don't like pickles, but it looks like an "old country" recipe to me!

First batch done last night. Four quart jars.

Here is the recipe

2.5 lbs Cukes 4-6 inches long
3.75 cups water
3.75 cups CIDER vinegar
6 TBS pickling salt
12-18 Heads of Fresh Dill or 6-8 TBS of Dill Seed
1 Clove Garlic (halved) Per Jar

Slice into spears and loose pack raw spears. Add dill (2-3 heads of fresh dill or 3-4 tsp seeds per jar). Add 1 clove Garlic (halved) per Jar. Combine water,vinegar,salt in saucepan and bring to boil. Pour boiled water/vinegar/salt brine into jars leaving 1/2 in head space. Wipe rims and place lids and bands on accordingly. Process in hot water bath for 10 minutes. Let stand 1 week minimum before eating.

For extra kick, I will place 1/2 a raw habenero in a few jars. Definietly heats things up, but I only do a few since I am the only one that likes then that hot.
