Is there a reason you didn't cut off the blossom end of the cucumbers?

[@SurviveBetterTogether]

I've seen it done both ways. I just feel that they stay firmer with it on. Just personal preference though.

[@IMakeMyBacon]

​@SurviveBetterTogether do they ? How is the crunch to you

[@jacobuponthestone9093]

So these are fermented pickles. How long do they keep in the pantry? And do you refrigerate after opening? Assuming so.ive never done fermented sometimes i see recipes that are more water and salt. But i know people used to have pickle barrels and they sat out and never killed anyone. I also want to make sour pickles.

[@SurviveBetterTogether]

These are just regular dill pickles, not fermented. Once opened, they last several weeks in the fridge.

Hi, I have dill seeds, how much should I use?

[@SurviveBetterTogether]

I typically use 1-3 sprigs. Depending on the size of your dill heads. Using extra won't hurt, I think it makes it super yummy😊

[@dchevron90]

Does adding the sugar make it a bit sweet? I like traditional dill pickle flavor that’s not sweet. So I’m wondering if the sugar sweetens the flavor?

[@SurviveBetterTogether]

Great question. They do not seem sweet to me. They taste exactly like old fashioned pickles.

[@clot1770]

I find that adding sugar makes the pickles significantly less savory. I leave it out. I do not recommend sugar!!!

[@LordThree]

I don’t understand why you use water! Why not all vinegar?

[@SurviveBetterTogether]

Great question. Vinegar is needed as it is part of the fermenting process. Without it, you would not have the flavor that pickles are famous for nor the crunch.

[@danhughes4376]

All vinegar could result in a solution that is too acidic and lead to overly sour pickles. That being said I'm sure there are those folks out there that do use 100% vinegar

[@Storytime_with_Starla]

My pickles end up being soggy in the brine😖

[@SurviveBetterTogether]

Sorry to hear that. I wonder if something got skipped. I've been using this one for years and never had that problem. We're the cucs super fresh or maybe a few days old, that would make a difference.

[@Storytime_with_Starla]

@@SurviveBetterTogether
Few days old and not all of them were pickling cucumbers.

[@SurviveBetterTogether]

That may have something to do with it. Sorry you had that experience. Hopefully you can try again.

[@dzidolgitara]

4 cups of water and 4 cups of pickling salt ? are you insane ?

[@tameraarmstrong1458]

I think she said a fourth. Like 1/4 cup

[@IMakeMyBacon]

I don't understand how wrote your ingredients down, i don't know whats what

[@SurviveBetterTogether]
