upstateNY trapper U Joined: Aug 2008 ny	Originally Posted by thrstyunderwater I'm growing a lot of cucumbers this year with the intention of making a fair amount of pickles. I've had my fair share of mushy pickles, looking to avoid that at all costs. I'd like to do some refrigerator (fermented) pickles, but I'd like to can some too. Tips I've come across so far: Don't use cucumbers longer than 6" Use an ice water bath for 1-2 hours before canning Cut off the blossom end before canning Using alum when canning What other tips, tricks, and methods does this group have? Side note, this is dill pickles only. Sweet pickles should be outlawed and banished... Reguardless of what others say in here,,the Hot Water Bath at the end should NOT be skipped.Even the "Ball Book" says this step is "essential" to kill micro organisms that can cause spoilage. unless making refrigerator pickles.

For pints..plenty of fresh dill, half clove of garlic, half teaspoon of peppercorns, quarter teaspoon of mustard seed. Double for quarts. Brine..2 cups white vinegar, 2 cups water, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons pickling salt. It takes alot of brine. Hot water bath 10 min for pints, 15 for quarts. Today I tried not water bathing 9 jars. 9 fails. It did not work. Last edited by Gary Benson; Yesterday at 08:58 PM. Life ain't supposed to be easy.

I think its a classic example of hitting the "required book" time and temps or doing what works best for you. One way: Another way:
