step 2, realize i been so busy the last week i let them get too big, which slowed down the next run, they should have been picked at 4-6" and before any turned color, o well food is food :tup: im still impressed with what my little pickle wall has done with only 4 plants  :IBCOOL:

if there is anyone in the south end wanting to learn, your free to come over, have a beer and ill teach you while i do it, i have quickly become addicted to canning as its so insanely easy, way better then anything in the store and saves truck loads of money all year  :tup: im headed to shop (yes, at the dollar store) for everything needed.
cucumber wall $9,
seeds $0.50,
supplies $4,
will last til next year, its more then 2 jars of good pickles cost, should get a good 2-3 cases from this summer mini climber box :tup:

slice, spear, cube, your cukes whatever you like, i will say spears crisp better even though i dislike spears.

4 cups white vinegar
2 cups water
1/3 cup pickling salt
2 tsp dill weed dried

(1/4 tsp pickle crisp or alum per jar, add to jar before canning)


then is all the ingredients, bring them to a boil, and once they boiled for about 2 minutes poyur over cukes until they are covered and under water.

let sit 12 hours.

then remove from liquid, SAVE LIQUID!!! and bring liquid to a boil separate while you stuff jars with cukes, filling to 1/2" from top.

in each jar add 1/4 tsp of pickle crisp or alum, and then when liquid is boiling add to jars, again 1/2" from top, and add lids and ribngs, and hot bath them for 15 minutes, not 9 or 10, go 15! they are so acidic 15 works best.

i like to refrigerate asap and seems to also hold crisp better, i love crunchy pickles  :IBCOOL: 

now, for an amazing kick, when you have enough for a few jars left add some pepper flakes, jalapenos or whatever, and boil for 2 minutes longer, then do same as above, spicy super sour pickles are a freakin amazing treat  :tup:

if you need help just ask, 40 cukes have yielded 4 gallons so we shall see how many quarts. now for the next batch to grow, that will be football sweet relish  :drool:

forgot to mention, rule #1 once they are picked cann asap and get the tips cut off because the pectin in the tips starts to deteriorate and they start getting soft. there is no viagra for them , mushy will always be mushy  :chuckle:

I like canning green beans and asparagus the same way.  Though I like apple cider vinegar as a variation too.
