Nice pickles, did you grow those?When you do your beans do you put them in raw and then pressure cook or do you parboil first? Do you do pickled beans? Yum!!

I just started canning a few years back and love it, but have not run across any pickles I like yet.
Nice looking crops Rasbo. We just did another batch of beans in the pressure cooker. 2nd one now. My corn looks abysmal but the beans did well.
Have you ever substituted with apple cider vinegar? You should try it.

I just started canning a few years back and love it, but have not run across any pickles I like yet.for dill pickles here is the brine below 3 cups water 2cups white vinegar 2 1/2 tablespoons salt{kosher or pickling salt} no iodized salt 1 teaspoon heaping blackpepper corn 1 teaspoon heaping mustard seed a thick pinch of red pepper flakes bring to a boil and keep hot till ready to pour over pickles. then I put 2 garlic cloves per jar and two sprigs of fresh dill sprigs in the bottom of the jars pack the jars tight with whole fresh clean pickles or spears..ad another fresh sprig of dill and pour brine over them to a 1/2inch from top of jar...run a small spatchula around the inside of the jar to realease any air,put lids on and water bath for 10 minutes,pull out and leave on a towel on the counter for 24hrs
