I know it’s past the pickle-making time in most areas of this country, but I plan to make a lot of pickles next year. Sweet and dill. Sliced and whole.

I got some seeds for some tiny cukes that make the gherkin size pickles.

I need recipes for tried and true pickles - old favorites, or new ones you tried this year that came out great. I don’t want to use the pickle-mix that you can buy in the stores.

Thanks,
Carol B

Oh dear, after I posted this, the ‘similar threads’ message came up at the bottom! Even though I had done a search before I posted, I guess I didn’t read all the results. Ok, so, any recipes out there that haven’t been posted before?

Sorry,

Here is a recipe I found from an old Newfoundland Cookbook for Dill Pickles.
Use a 6 qt. basket of cucumbers 3-4 inches long. Wash and pack in clean jars. You puy a nice sized flower of dill at the bottom and top, enough garlic to taste(optional),about 1 tsp. mixed spices on top. Now you make your brine.
1 Cup Salt(course) 2 Cups White Vinegar 6 Cups Water

Bring to a boil,then pour over cucumbers in jars. Seal. Let sit fo a couple of weeks before you use them.
