    My aunt has made these for years. She adds green food coloring and here in West Tennessee, we call them Christmas pickles. She always cautioned me to keep the juice even after the pickles are gone. The juice adds lots of flavor to any kind of tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. and deviled eggs and potato salad. They are wonderful. If anyone gives you a jar, it’s because they love you. 😉

    Just a few interesting FYIs:
    The first 7 days is actually fermentation with the lactic acid bacteria causing the cloudy brine water. I guess I would call them combination pickles, using both the fermentation and hot vinegar preparations.
    Hot water bathing - The USDA recommends the hot water bath as an assurance that everything is heat pasteurized. There may be some people that intend to hot can, but they may let the food cool down too much (maybe a phone call or tending to children) and forget that the food and jars need to be piping hot. The boiling water bath will assure that canners have the best success possible. It's just that extra precaution for the inexperienced to get safe results.
    Some people trim the blossom end of the cucumber before processing. The blossom end contains a ripening enzyme that can continue to ripen and soften the cucumber during the process. Using alum (as you did) or a lime (calcium hydroxide) solution soak for 12 to 24 hours as a first step will neutralize the enzyme, so you get crisp fermented pickles.
    The FYIs may be too nerdy for some folks, but I think if you understand the chemistry, you can make adjustments with confidence.

      This recipe calls for the alum soak on Day 8, after cutting the cucs into chunks. I've got a fermented dill pickle recipe that calls for the alum or lime soak as a first step - Day 1, then the brine soak. The alum or lime soak neutralizes the enzyme that ripens the cucumber, which causes the soft mushy spots to form. I believe that doing that soak early will help those soft spots not to form later in the process.

    I found a lot of success with crunchy pickles after learning that the blossom end of the cucumber has an enzyme that makes them break down and get mushy. This year I cut off the blossom end of each of the cukes before I pickled them and didn’t lose any to mushyness! Give it a try on a future batch and see if it works for you! Love your videos!

      Whenever we make refrigerator pickles (something like those Classen pickles in the store) we always trim off the blossom end of the pickling cucumbers. These no cook pickles stay firm in the refrigerator without getting mushy. Going to have to give those 14 day pickles of Ms. Pressley a try. - Tennessee Smoky

"Now you youngins' leave that alone!" Grandma had 9 children and 36 grandchildren and she managed to protect the goods from us all. THEN she would send a pint jar home around Thanksgiving time. Your camera shot of the finished product open up my taste buds memory! Yes, I also let my own pickles set on the shelf in the basement until fall before opening them.

    My aunt made salt brine pickles. She is the only one in the family that made them. Loved them. I learned something about canning pickles from another UA-cam r. He put his lids and rings on his jars, heated his oven to 250. He heated jars for at least 10 minutes in the oven while he brought his vinegar mixture to a rolling boil. He then took a jar at a time, filled with liquid screwed lids back on and when all were filled, covered with two towels and let set for 24 hrs. You are such a joy to watch. God bless you all.

    Forgot to add that seeing this video brought back a good memory for me. My youngest sister was maybe 4th or 5th grade and decided she wanted to plant her own carrots and cucumbers. Mom bought the plants and Becky put them in the ground. I can’t remember anything about carrots so I don’t know if they even made but the cucumbers came in by the basket fulls. I remember her putting them in water, vinegar, onions, salt and pepper etc. after refrigerating for a day we ate them at a fish fry. Delicious! We also used them in salads. She probably could have canned some. If she did I don’t remember it. But we sure enjoyed little sisters summer experiment with growing them

    I learned to can from my grandmother and her sister. I was taught that after you put the flat and ring on top you turned the jar upside down. It heated the flat better. Then once all the jars are capped and inverted, you turn the jars back right side up and wipe them with hot wet cloths to try to wipe the stickiness off. As the jars cool you can hear the lids popping are they seal.

    Thank you and your lovely family for sharing your life. It surprised me that growing up in Massachusetts in the 50’s and 60’s how many of my recipe memories are the same as your Applachian ones. We made fluffier utter sandwiches, pickled watermelon using the same flavor profile as your 14 day pickles. My father was a green house man and florist. Daddy always had huge vegetable gardens. Mom wasn't much for cooking but Nana was and I learned from her. We joked in the family that the cooking skipped a generation. So you had your cookers then your eaters then your cookers again and so on. Nana made apple jelly from her crabapple tree and tinted it red and green, poured in juice glasses and topped with paraffin. We would all get red and green ones for Christmas then have a new juice glass. On Christmas Eve Daddy made oyster stew just exactly like Matts. I was the only other family member that liked it besides him. We would have tomato sandwiches on white bread with Mirical Whip. Sometimes we would have big slabs of Big Boy tomatoes and Mama would sprinkle sugar on them. I was so surprised to see similarities in the recipes from our youths. Do you think it's an Eastern thing or a German thing? I need to research more. Anyway I love your videos and appreciate your imortalizing the foodways of Applachia.

Thanks for the instructional video. You made it easier to understand. And thanks for the recipe. I’ll have to wait until next year to make them bc cucumbers are just about gone for this season.

    My MawMaw made pickles this way but she made dill pickles because that's what the grandkids loved.
    She called the. brine pickles.
    Thank you for this video.
    You've brought back memories of a much loved woman and taught me a different recipe.
    God bless you and your lovely family.

    Mom and I are watching you make pickles and thinking back to when we were your ages working to put up the garden together. Mom advised that using dark sand in the soil mix would help the horse radish grow. We never had a problem, and it was hot as fire. Yum.

    I enjoyed your recipe for 14 day pickles.
    It made me think back when I would go to my mother's house an help her pickle the cucumbers my dad grew in his garden.
    We pickled okra an also beets. I sure miss my mom an I do not ever regret helping her
    Pickle things. I pickled okra on my own an it turned out perfect I used my mom's recipe.
    That's why. Love your video. Have a nice day.

    I certainly have enjoyed watching this video. It's really like a MOVIE OR DOCUMENTARY. The information and steps are complicated but easy at the same time. I think the FAMILY CONNECTION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. I think about my paternal grandma just about every time I watch your videos. She was always gardening that when harvest time rolled around, she was really busy preserving all the bounty from her very hard work putting in her garden. What an inspiring lady she was. I adored her. Thanks again Tipper for all you do.

    I finally got to make the 14 day pickles. I bought a bunch of cucumbers at the Amish produce auction. I made bread and butter pickles, dill spears and 14 day pickles. I put pickling spices and hot peppers in mine because I didn't think I wanted all that cinnamon. I wanted zesty sweet, They turned out so crisp and good. Thank you for this recipe

    I really like the 14 day, my Mother made them alot. After she passed away, I thought I'd try them. I didn't remember starting them whole. But I probably did!!! I used the Ball canning book. I thought it called for alot of sugar also.
    You are so fortunate to have Corey and Matt help you, it is hard work!! But worth every moment.

    I was reading through my maternal grandmother’s recipes and I found this one! She was a wonderful cook. When my dad was growing up she worked at home. But one year a friend got sick and was going to lose her job as a cook at the school. So my grandmother did her friend’s job for her while she was ill. Every day for a year my grandmother walked a mile to the school and cooked so her friend would keep her needed job.

    I ate these pickles when I was a child. My great-grandmother made them in northeastern Oklahoma, but her family had moved west from Appalachia as new land opened. She called them 14 day pickles also. They were syrupy and more sweet than sour.

    My granny's people were from East Tennessee. We grew up eating these. I cannot find her recipe and the cousins that got her cookbook's when she died seem to have lost them. ( I was too young to fight for them). I've been looking for several years for a recipe that had cloves. One thing that I found a difference is my granny did not use horseradish she used Ginger. I don't know if maybe she just didn't like horseradish, or like you said she couldn't find it. But I do remember she used Ginger. She'd also add green food coloring sometimes.
    I can't wait to make these I haven't had them in many years. The juice makes the best potato salad too.

    I made a batch of these, and boy are they delicious. They have an amazing crunch. I decided to add two tablespoons of mustard seed into the cinnamon clove sugar mixture as I like the look and flavor they add. This is the absolute best pickle for a hamburger as the sweetness pairs well with mustard, onions, tomatoes, etc. making your burger just explode with flavor. I took a pint jar to our 4th of July family picnic of about ten people and they ate the entire jar. The cinnamon wasn't pronounced to my delight. I highly recommend this recipe.

    This video is very educational, Tipper. Although I come from a long lineage of people who made gardens and preserved food every year, I was unfamiliar with this 14-day hybrid process of fermentation/pickling. A web-search revealed many spice variations of this recipe, which appears to have been commonly used for generations. The proof is in the pudding, and anything that has been handed-down for that long has to be a winner!
    Thanks for the lesson, Tipper. As always, it was a pleasure coming along for the ride. And, I never got my fingers sticky!

    Wow, that’s a process. They look wonderful, and I know the hard work is worth it. I am diabetic, so I would have to tweek the amount of sugar with Monk Fruit sweetner. I wonder how that would taste. With Monk Fruit sweetner you have no after taste. It’s so much like real sugar. Another great receipt! Thank you!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

    I can't wait to try this recipe! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. I love pickles, I'm known as the little girl that went into my great aunt's cellar and ate all the jars of pickles she had put up. The number of jars seem to grow each time the story is told. I just remember how good they were and the belly ache I had later. I don't think I've ever had a pickle like this one. That crunch made my mouth water and want to make a pot of beans.

    Man oh man, I do hope your girls take your knowledge forward and hand it on down to their kids. I would NEVER, EVER even attempt this sort of a project just to get a pickle out of it in the end, but it's so important for humanity for these skills to be handed down. I can't imagine how this sort of a recipe even ever got developed. It's amazing technology and will probably be needed again.

    Very, VERY impressed/impressive demonstration. You just created my ALL TIME favorite pickle! The spices are so simple. I think the cinnamon sticks were a better choice than loose cinnamon. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful family recipe with the world. NOW…..I’m gonna have to hit Hobby Lobby for the canisters (or go online?) then the HEB for my cukes and other ingredients. I am a bored 76yr old MeeMaw that LOVES to watch you in your kitchen!! My Mama was raised on a farm (very small) yet a farm. The way (and many of the same foods -yum!) she cooked - I am constantly reminded of her (she’s deceased) when I watch you cook. She taught me to cook sooooooo……….all of our methods and recipes are VERY similar. Just want to tell you…. thank you so very much. I watch y’all daily!!!
