Re: my second round of canning
Good job. Nothing like fresh homemade pickles. My plants are producing now. I'll be at it soon.

Re: my second round of canning
I like the bread and butters too. Looks like you've got a good supply.
We're in the middle of a hot, hot spell here so everything's struggling. I'm getting a few cukes, but I'd sure like more.

Re: my second round of canning
I've never made any, but want to terribly. I'm too scared...I've heard horror stories about the pickles not turning out right.

Re: my second round of canning
My first year to can pickles and I tried several different ways, seems every canner person has their own recipe. Some turned out ok, some real good and some great, but every single batch was far better than store bought.

Re: my second round of canning
If you don't try you will never learn. When I learned to bake bread I baked lots of boat anchors instead of bread, but I learned by doing and now make some top notch bread.
There is nothing like a good home made pickle around Christmas time.

Re: my second round of canning
There are several kinds of pickles that are easy to make. Just pick an easy recipe from a reliable source and go for it. I bet you'll be glad you did.

Re: my second round of canning
Last year I canned for the first time and I was really nervous too. First, pickles are really easy AND hard to screw up from a safety perspective -- probably one of the safest things to can.
Definitely pick a reliable source. I bought the "Ball Blue Book". Then follow the instructions carefully, and they will be fine!!

Re: my second round of canning
I'm wondering if anyone has a good recipe that keeps the pickle crunchy? I made great bread and butter, but I really like crunchy, and havent found the recipe for that yet.
