Title: Pickles? Post by: Mike Kirk on September 21, 2007, 12:29:21 pm I bought 23 pounds of cukes this morning. Anyone have a favorite pickle recipe? I have two versions of bread and butter pickles that I am going to make but that leaves roughly 11 pounds of cucumbers for a few more batches.

Salt - 2 table spoons per 1 liter of water Garlic - two-three cloves per liter of water or by taste Horseradish - half a leaf, or a piece of root, makes the pickles more brittle Dill - stems, cut them in pieces Peppers Cucumbers to fill the can To speed things up, pour in a boiling solution of salt Let it sit for 24-36 hours depending on the outside temperature, the warmer the less time you need. Pour out the juice, boil it, pour it back in, pour it out, boil it again, pour it back it, then seal the can. Title: Re: Pickles?
