Pickles

Elijah

Does anyone have a good pickle recipe? I have been chasing a claussen like pickle for a few years now.

These aren't claussen like, but they are good. A mix between a dill and a sweet pickle in my opinion.

What you need to do is find the recipe for Clara Johnson's award winning homemade pickles.

You just dated yourself.

Saw an episode of DDD, where the guy was making these types of pickles.  He pickled the pickling cucumbers whole, but only nipped the two ends off.  Guy said that was the key.  Poured hot liquid over the whole cukes, and into the fridge for like three days.  Then sliced.  As soon as my cukes come in, I'm doing this.

I've cut the ends off. It did help them stay crisp, but the powder that ball makes does a better job. If you're going to be slicing them anyway I'd go ahead and slice them before you pickle them. You can fit more in the jar and they don't get that shriveled look.

I use this recipe. Always turn out awesome.

I buy pickles.  However, I add a few bags of kool-aid and a cup of sugar.  After a week they are great.

@Botch here's a nice spot for the recipe 😁

I remember this thread!  Noted.

@Botch sunk but not nuked it seems. Guess you can't make pickles on an egg

I've got my latest iteration in the frig now, waiting for me to finish another container of Grillo's (they go on sale for $5.99 often) and will see if I'm any closer.  I do know I forgot the Pickle Crisp this time, so they'll be a bit floppy.
