I love pickles. I like national brands, local brands, homemade. Also enjoy pickled vegetables and eggs. Not a big fan of meats. My nickname is "pickles". The kids at kids school call me "Mr Pickles". I can thank my daughter for that one.
Anyway on to this post. I made a batch today as the local farmers market had them at a good price and they were looking good.
I use a 50/50 water vinegar ratio. Vinegar is 5% acid. Boil that with whole cloves of garlic and canning salt.
In the jars this time I added black peppercorns, coriander, mustard seed, celery seed, cumin, and fresh dill. 1 jar also had sliced horseradish in it and another had sliced jalapeños.

And now I have to wait a few days. I can't wait to try the horseradish ones. Bet they will be amazing.

You're making my mouth water. I like pickles, and I'd like to try this sometime. Although, I'd probably just go out and buy a jar of pickles 'cause it's easier ::)
It is easier to buy them, but I just love them and want them flavored my way. Also, that was a small batch, took me about 30 minutes. A large batch wouldn't take much longer though.

How long do you have to wait before they are ready?
iCARRY, I am right with you. I love all kinds of pickled veg. Looks great.

Usually a few days, they are really good after a week. If they are good, they won't last that long.
