I bought 25lbs of pickling cucumbers and went to my mom's today. I wanted her to show me how to make dill pickles. Well it was easy. My dad used about 7lbs and made Bread and Butter Pickles, 8 jars. My mom and I managed to make 18 quarts of dills. I took 10 jars and my mom had 8 and they have all the Bread and Butter Pickles too. I'll get to eat those when I visit.
She also gave me a couple of jars of canned salmon, some cheese and some coffee she didn't like. My husband will bring the coffee to work with him. So it was a long day of standing on my feet which I'm not used to and my dogs are tired.
I was going to take all these pictures and then totally forgot and only took a couple of some of the jars when they were done. They are on my phone though and I need my husband to show me how to get them off the phone and on the computer. iTunes, need I say anymore? The husband is at work so I'll wait till he gets home. I'm sure you are all chomping at the bit to see some pictures of jars of dill pickles.
I promise I'll post pictures soon.

Everywhere else says to use the hot water method but pickles turn out mushy when you use it.
Is my mom the only one who does pickles this way?
Hope you have a good Sunday!
I think next time I'll do the hot water bath cause now I'm worried.
