It was an excellent recipe. My girlfriend and that i made these pickles on Saturday, so we ate two jars at Sunday supper with your family. Simply each day later, these were great! We used exactly the same recipe to create a couple jars of relish (same recipe and process, just cubing the cucumbers nice small , cooking everything lower inside a pot before canning).
The only issue we'd with this particular recipe was that people were using pint jars rather of quart jars. I anticipated when this recipe (particularly the brine/syrup from it) would fill 3 quart jars, it ought to nearly fill 6 pint jars. I'd extra cucumbers, enough to fill 8 pint jars, but needed to finish up making 3 batches of syrup to fill 8 jars. It might be our 500ml jars within Canada are slightly various sizes than your imperial pint jars. Or it might be which i did not pack enough cucumbers into each jar (which may displace the liquid making it go further). In either case, I will be causeing this to be again (possibly with a few of my very own variations, too). Just recipe!
Can't believe I did not rate these this past year!
I made my first attempt for canning anything this past year with this particular recipe. my only improvement in the recipe. I added a sprinkle of pickling spice to my liquid.
Joined these pickles within the county fair and won first PLACE. They are great and simple.
It was the very first time I have canned. These switched out very well, which i built them into 3 occasions to rave reviews. The recipe was detailed enough for any newbie to follow along with. I additionally like there's a couple of ingredients.
