Dill pickles do not come close to Kosher Dill Pickles. Kosher dill pickles do not have vinegar. These are boring.
Read MoreFolks! All you need is time to make good-for-your-gut pickles. First, swap out the vinegar for water. That's right--jes plain water. not boiled, unless it'll make you feel better to do so; do not add sugar. Jes' water and the following: 1 - 3 T pickling spices, plus one head of dill, 1 - 2 T peppercorns, 2 - 4 cloves of garlic, 2 - 4 T Kosher salt, and 1 oak OR grape OR horseradish leaf. Cover the cucs and/or veggies with a stone or a plate that'll keep them submerged. Cover the entire jar opening with a piece of cheesecloth, secured or not with a rubber band; move the jar to a quiet, cool part of the kitchen, and walk away to give it time. After a week, cut off a piece of veggie and taste it. IF you like the taste, use a sieve to strain the liquid into a bowl. IF you want it to be stronger, resecure the cheese cloth and wait another couple of days. IF you like the taste, but you want it to be a bit more salty, add more salt. When the taste is to your liking, pour the brine back into the jar with the veggies/cucs, cover with a lid, put the jar in the fridge, saving out one of the veggies/cucs to eat and make your gut smile. The jar I've used for decades is an old tall Ball jar with a rubber gasket and a metal spring top.
Read MoreJust tried these and they were ok but I agree with several commenters that these are too sweet. The sugar is absolutely unnecessary. Will try again without the sugar and hopefully get a true dill and not half dill half sweet.
Read MoreWe have made Dill pickles and Kosher Dill and never have I added any sugar. All of our pickles are refrigerator pickles. They have lasted up to 7 months. We made the pickles up and put them in 5 gallon pales,
Read MoreThese sound delicious, but really more of a "half-sour" than a true, NYC-style dill pickle. I'll be making them as soon as my local grocery gets some Kirby cukes.
Read MoreCan you make without the sugar?
Read MoreI noticed a few people ask this but didn't receive a response. Will this recipe work if we alter it for hot-water bath canning? Instead of soaking the pickles in the mix can I just boil the mix then pour it directly into jars with the cut cukes? Or does it lose something in translation.
Read MoreA week?? When you pickle cucumbers (i.e., make pickles) the salt and vinegar act as preservatives. This means they're -preserved- longer than food that would normally go bad after about a week. Pickles will pretty much last as long as you need them to, so make a bunch! #askachef
Read MoreReally good. I added 3 cloves. if you process and seal them will they last longer than a week?
Read MoreMade these and served along side my fried chicken. Delicious.
Read MoreHighly disappointed!! They taste like sweet pickles with garlic... nothing about them taste dill. I thought by using sugar it was to tone down something in the recipe.... need to be labled sweet not dill
Read MoreHow long will they keep in a fridge? I love pickles and I was thinking about a week or two to store it and have some to gobble whenever I get hungry.
Read MoreShould there be more vinegar to the brine to keep it fresh a little longer?
