Glad this came up I just picked a bunch so I will be watching this . I’m looking for a sweet pickle if anybody will share.

There was a thread a couple weeks ago about fermenting pickles. I posted a recipe then.
Tomorrow morning I am getting another half bushel to can and will post the recipe I use...unless I can find it tonight.
It is easy to do and a bit customizable by adding garlic, hot pepper flakes, etc. Another easy one is canned green beans. Garlic and hot pepper to taste. Enjoy the time making pickles

Mrs. Wages is a good product for newbies. Several kinds of pickles, good directions, easy to use.
Good luck.

This is from the book, "You can can" from Better Homes & Gardens. There are tons of other recipes, of course, but this one has worked well for me.

This should be a better pic

Tommie, here is a bread and butter pickle recipe if that is what you are looking for

Apparently I am not too good with taking pics!

Mrs Wages packs turn out some good pickles. The hot and spicey are dialed in. I make them outside on a turkey fryer propane base. It'll have everyone in the houses nose and eyes watering!

Ive always liked the sweet or dill refrigerator pickle recipes.

THIS IS THE RECIPE THAT I USE TOMMIE. I GOT IT FROM A GUY I WORKED WITH YEARS AGO. HE SAID IT WAS HIS WIFE'S GRANDMOTHER'S. SO IT IS AT LEAST A 100 YEARS OLD. I HAVE MY SECOND BATCH "WORKING" NOW. REALLY GOOD SWEET PICKLE. HERE GOES: 2 GALS. CUKES CUT IN STRIPS (use small ones or cut strips no longer than 3" makes them easier to pack in jars) AND PLACE IN CONTAINER (either plastic or earthenware). BOIL 1 GAL. WATER 2 CUPS SALT AND POUR OVER CUKES AND LET STAND 7 DAYS. ( use a large plate or something to keep cukes underwater. also a quart plastic container of water set on top of the plate). DRAIN OFF WATER AND BOIL 1 GAL. OF WATER AND POUR OVER CUKES AND LET STAND OVERNIGHT. DRAIN OFF WATER AND BOIL 1 GAL. OF WATER AND 1 HEAPING TABLESPOON FULL OF ALUM AND POUR OVER CUKES AND LET STAND OVERNIGHT. POUR OFF MIX AND BOIL 2 QUARTS OF VINEGAR, 4 QUARTS OF SUGAR, 6 STICKS CINNAMON, 3 TABLESPOONS CELERY SEED, 1 TEASPOON ALL SPICE, 2 TEASPOONS TURMERIC WITH ALL THE SMALL SPICES TIED IN A BAG. POUR OVER CUKES AND LET STAND 3 DAYS. ALWAYS KEEP THE PLATE ON TOP OF THE CUKES SO THEY WILL STAY UNDER WATER. PUT CUKES IN HOT QUART JARS ( i like the wide mouth jars for this as the cukes pack better) AND BOIL THE VINEGAR MIXTURE AND POUR IN JARS. THIS SHOULD MAKE 6 JARS AND I PUT A CINNAMON STICK IN EACH JAR SO I CAN TELL MY SWEET PICKLES FROM ALL OTHERS. WHEN YOU GET READY FOR SOME SWEET PICKLES, PLACE A JAR IN THE FRIDGE. FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEY WILL CRISP UP BETTER.

That's the kind of response I was hoping to see for a garlic dill recipe. Some well guarded family secret from someone's great grandmother passed down for generations that's won countless recipe contests. Something that can be shelved through to the next season.

Another thing to remember if you want crunchy pickle, you need to start with a firm cucumber. Can't make a soft cucumber crunchy unless you toss it in a fire.


You may now write your jokes...

Pickle ‘em the day you pick ‘em. Fresh Dill helps a bunch. Non-iodized salt. Don’t have the recipe handy but these were important.

4 quarts of sugar....has to be a mistake ?....

Mrs. Wages for sure. We do add garlic to ours.

NO MISTAKE ON THE SUGAR. THESE ARE, AFTER ALL SWEET PICKLES.
