***I used 1/4 teaspoon of alum but accidentally said 1 teaspoon in the video. The recipe calls for 1/4 teaspoon alum 😊
Thank you so much! Another great woman on TH-cam to get great preserving ways from and making about anything from herbs, spices, seasonings, broths, fermenting etc and all done the Old Fashioned way is, "Whipoorwill Holler!" Miss Lori is one of the best at doing anything I've ever seen in my 67 yrs of life! There ain't nothing that she can't do or make! Her and her husband live in the Hills of Arkansas! She has some great old fashion recipes to that y'all and the girls would love! Pleased give her a watch Tipper! I've been wanting to tell you about Miss Lori for awhile now but kept forgetting! Love y'all God Bless. 🙏🙏❤❤🇺🇸
Thankyou Tipper for the update on the alum amount…I’m gonna make this recipe this weekend…I love all you’re videos!
Thanks! ❤ TeresaSue
@@karensweet6530, I like watching Miss Lori too.
@@orsie200 Yes. She's so sweet and so Smart! I love her and Mr Brown. (Danny) 🙏❤🇺🇸
Listening now, and all I can think of is the Andy Griffith episode, "The Pickle Story". It's very funny if you haven't seen it. Aunt Bee makes pickles that are nicknamed "kerosene cucumbers". 🙂
😃 Love that one!!
Absolutely my favorite episode!!!!
Too funny. I said the same thing to my husband when I tasted them. I remember watching that episode of Andy Griffith and eating a whole jar of pickles afterwards and then not feeling very well. Loll such good memories.
My daddy talks about that episode every year I tell him I have cucumbers coming in. Lol
one of my favorite episodes too!
I don't know if any of you viewers noticed that the 3rd jar she filled with cucumbers, she forgot to add the tsp. of alum to that jar 😮. It is the jar that she stuffed in the smaller curly shaped cucumbers to the top. It's probably not too late to get that one and the alum to it then just put it in the fridgerator. I'm not sure, though. Hopefully, she catches the comment 🤔🤔❤️🫢
Yes, I was just going through the comments to see if someone had caught that to, I hope Tipper catches it. 🙏
Thank you! I did forget 😃 but I always double check before moving on to the next step because I know I've likely forgotten something 😃 So I added it then.
Hello from The mountains of N E Ga. I have been making dill pickles for several years and I started with Mrs. Wadges mix. They were good but not what I wanted. I have just started my fermented kraut which will take one month of fermentation. I will now start my dill pickles. I ferment usually about 10 to 14 days using an air lock on the quart jars. For the crispiness I add tannins in the form of oak leaves. I have a fridge for all my finished dill pickles. Even at a year or year and half or longer I still get that wonderful crunch. I will stay with the fermentation method mainly because if the pro biotic benefits. Thank you for your wonderful videos. Mike Fuller
Tipper, I enjoy watching you prepare foods. My wife and I both helped our mother's get pickles ready for the "fruit cellar". What wonderful memories. My mother passed back in 1970. Sadly, the two mothers never met. My mother-in-law lived to 106, and passed in 2012. What a great Lady she was. She lived with us for 25 years - such a blessing for our children. Thank you for this video. It took us both back to our childhood.
A great tip is your recipe should use half the amount of dried herbs to the full amount of fresh herbs. So if he used 1 tablespoon of dry dill you should use 2 tablespoons of fresh dill. That works perfectly for all types of recipes.
Great tip!
Please forgive me if this was said in comments or video, but how long (days) after pickles jars are sealed, can you open them to eat them? Thank you.
@@ann3852 I would wait at least a month 😀
12:33 I add garlic to the dill pickles I use for potatoes salad and onions for eating dill pickles. I also eat the garlic and the onions beside using them for flavoring. Onions are a very healthy food to eat.
I made these pickles last year after watching this and Justins video. Best darn pickles ever! I cant tell you how many recipes I have tried over the decades. I finally found the perfect pickle. Crunchy, even 10 months later! We just opened one of our last jars the other day. And I am inspired to grow lots of cucumbers this year. Dont forget to grow the dill too!
So good to see you! Thanks for sharing. I just love your stories & recipes. You give me a sense of peace. You are truly a special woman. God bless you and your family.
Loved watching you can the cucumbers! I am sure they will be enjoyed! Thanks, Tipper!! God bless and love to all! 💕🤗🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing Justin. I have started watching his videos!
Those pickles are amazing! My husband waits on his canning and gardening videos! We both love watching him, and your whole family! Good ole southern people! Can’t beat it! Much love from Wears Valley!
A wonderful video! Watching it was like seeing a seed grow that had been planted, what a blessing it was. I appreciate you Mrs Tipper. I wish I could tell Mama how her pickles are traveling. Looking forward to it!!
and thank you so much for all the mentions! 🙂
Thank you Tipper for sharing how to make these pickles! Look so yummy! 😊
Looks like a great recipe! I'll try it when the cucumbers come on. We love a crisp pickle too. Thanks again for all you do. God bless you all. and praying for Granny.
I loved this video Tipper. I love all of yours and your Girls videos. It seems like I'm right there with you. I love all of you. May God continue to bless you!❤
Thank you for this recipe, Tipper (and Justin)!
Because if folks ever saw how mass-produced, store bought pickles are produced, they’d *never* buy them again. They’re left in HUGE outdoor vats, *uncovered* … no lie… dust, bird droppings, bugs and all can easily get into the vats. For anyone curious, just search “commercial production pickle vats” to check it out for yourselves.
Sorry y’all… I seem to be the bearer of regrettable news too often, it seems. 😕
Over the last 5 years or so, you can't find a decent pickle in the stores in Massachusetts anyway. You can tell, especially the bread & butter pickles, its just sugar water, I guess. Terrible. I used to be CRAZY about them, buying 2 jars at a time. Not anymore. I made them 1 year, when I grew them...once...gotta try it again
Oh goodness! Thank you for telling me! I did make a mistake 😀 the recipe calls for 1/4 teaspoon alum and I used that but said 1 teaspoon alum
🤢oh my, that’s terrible! Thanks
Tipper, thanks for letting us know about Justin's recipe. They are the best I have found and I love how easy it is. Thanks again!
Glad you like them too 😃
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep your videos coming please.
Tipper I think it's wonderful you preserve your heritage yet are willing to try a new (to you) recipe. Thank you for sharing with us!
My pleasure!
I love when you tell your family stories and why you like or make your food! Thank you! ❤
Glad you enjoy it!
I just did a batch of these yesterday! I can't wait to eat them. They were so easy to do. Probably took 3 hours total. Thank you for telling us about these.
You are so welcome!
Dog gone those pickles look goooood!! We always enjoy your channel, so family and wholesome. Thank you.
God blesd Tipper and her family, God bless granny!
Thank you Norman!!
Hey Tipper , Thank you for sharing. ❤
Thanks Tipper for telling us about Justin's channel, love how he tells about his history and the towns history, love the old ways he talks about. I hope my cucumbers produce enough for me to try this recipe.
Thank you ,Mrs Tipper

Mrs josette Tharp

Thank you 😊
Those pickles look absolutely yummy!😋THANK YOU!
I’ve made dill pickles that’s similar to these, put everything you did, but I added a grape leaf. They are so delicious. Love watching your videos!
I have watched Justice Medcalf ever since you mentioned him. What a joy to watch you and then switch over to him, it makes me so happy to spend time with people from where I was raised. Utah people think I talk funny but after watching you and Justice I realize I speak just right. God bless you and your work.
I haven't canned pickles in years. Last time I did was with my mother. I loved being in the kitchen with her. Thank you so much for the content you and your daughters put out. I look forward to watching y'all. 🙂
I love crunchy pickles!! Thank you!
Comfort food…..grilled cheese sandwich with a crunchy cool DILL PICKLE😊
They go so well together 😃
My husband had me make him 2 grilled cheese sandwiches today. ❤
@@kimberlykcmcrochet4489 😃
My favorite! ❤
I like a grilled ham and cheese with crunchy dill pickles!
Love a crunchy pickle 🥒! Love Justin’s channel also💛
Perfect timing for video!! Im doing pickles tomorrow and will definitely be using this recipe. Thank you so much! ❤
How did they turn out?
I know they will be delicious. Thank you for sharing.
I watched his video last year too. When I saw your video last year that said you love them too I tried it this year. It’s so simple and every pint I pickled has sealed. Can’t wait to try them.
The very best. Thank you so much
Tipper thanks for sharing. I was never good at pickle canning. I did watch Justin Metcalf thanks for sharing
I love this…it reminds me of my grandmother growing up!
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thanks for sharing Miss Tipper, I’m sure those pickles are delicious. I love a crunchy pickle to. We also enjoy Justin’s channel as well.
Thanks Pastor Lon 😀
Can’t wait to see how your pickles come out. They sure look pretty in the jars. yum😋 Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida 😎🦩🌞🦩😎
Tipper!! I needed this a month ago when I was swimming in cucumbers.. I’m all out now but I am planning a second planting. I’m so excited to try these! ❤
Hope you enjoy 😃
❤😊 Hey, Tipper & family! I am new to your channel, but let me tell you...I love y'all!!! I am a 60-year old southern lady from the Great state of Tennessee. We are only about 3 hours away. We live about 60 miles from Nashville in the country. My husband is retired , LOL, but raises black Angus cattle. We have been married for 36-years. Our children have four paws. Maximus is a Chiweenie, and cute as a doll. Spoiled to pieces, and loves watching TV with his Mummy. I told him to help me remember this recipe since the last few years my memory has taken leave of my body it seems. I am gonna try this recipe tomorrow with the cucumbers I have left. I think I have enough to do a few quarts. Thank y'all for being who you are and sharing yourselves with us. My husband and I are just another good Ole Southern born & bred couple trying to do the "right" things to please our Lord and be good to our fellow men & women. God bless all your family. I pray for you all.
@@tammyarmstrong-williams1943 Thank you Tammy!! Nice to hear a bit about you!
Thank you for your video. I will check out Justin’s video too. I can’t wait till next year to try this recipe out. I had to go to my cabinet to try out the pickles I canned this year. I just love homemade dill pickles.
Tipper, I noticed that on your 3rd Jar of quart Pickles, Sweetheart you did'nt add the Alum... I even went back and watched it and I never saw where you added it. It was at time stamp 19:45... I don't know how you'll find which one it was unless you look how the cucumbers were arranged in the Jar! I wanted to call you so bad and tell you but I couldn't! You were distracted by talking to us. Please go back on you video and watch to see if you did! Bless your Heart! Thank you so much for this recipe! It does seem very easy! I'll have to try it next year bc I can't this year. It sounds yummy! I love Pickles! Love y'all God Bless 🙏🙏❤❤
Thank you! I caught it before I added the liquid 😀 I know to double check myself because I always forget something LOL!!
I am subscribed to Justin’s channel also. I made his dill pickles a few weeks ago. They are delicious. Mine all sealed except one and I just put it in the fridge to eat first. Thank you for loving Appalachia and allots lifestyle entails.👩🌾💚 🥒
I have watched Justin's video since you mentioned it before, and I subscribed. It's a great channel. I think the alum is probably the key to good dill pickles. My grandmother always used alum in her pickles, but it seems like over the years that has become more rare.
I agree!
I think the fresh dill adds a lot also.
@@cumberlandquiltchic1 Yes, that fresh dill is hard to beat.
I watch jethro all the time. Been watching his grain mill restoration lately. He just did the 3rd video. Hoping the 4th he will have it together and ready to use. I watched his pickle process already. So you definitely are using a good recipe.
I made Justro's dill pickles last year and I'm doing Justro's dill pickles this year. They are the BEST Dill Pickles ever. I also make the 14 day sweet pickles. I'm so glad I found your video site for I do sure LOVE you and your family and recipes especially the pickles. I will as long as I make pickles will think about Ms. Cindy and Justro and his Mom for the BEST PICKLES EVER. and you Tipper for sharing. Thank you for sharing the acid change in vinegars, I will keep myself aware.
I just made 4 quarts of these. Haven't tried them yet, but I'm sure they will be good. I used to do my tomatoes with the open kettle method and never had a problem. Such an easy recipe and can do a few at a time! Thanks Tipper!
Thank you so much for your informational video. I have never canned anything. I would love to try pickles! Your video made me feel so comfortable and informed about how to do it. Thank you!
I must try this recipe, thank you Tipper.
I made these a month or two ago after listening to you all rave about them. They are the best pickles I’ve ever made. The garlic turned blue which was pretty funny, but not harmful. Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Thanks Tipper! ❤
Try grape leaves in each jar and they will stay crunchy, it has tons of tannin as well as bay leaves will work too. I’ll never make pickles without them. ❤
I’ve heard this too!
Wow, i think I could fix those, maybe. They are definitely pretty in the jars. Thanks for sharing!
Great video tipper keep up the great work you're doing
Very interesting...when I made dill pickles I'd fold the dill and the stems and put it in the bottom of the jar followed by the garlic and alum....I always used only the small ones. I am anxious to see/hear how the bigger ones turn out and the cut ones! Great video!!
Happy to see the pickle recipe today. I've got old cookbooks that call for alum. Fell out of favor I guess. One of the interesting things about open canning is lots of other countries do it. I have cooking friends in England, Greece and Australia that only do open canning or Hot Water Bath for non pickled veggies. Some can't even buy Pressure Canners. So lots of folks in my canning group feel the USDA requirements for canning are the "very safest" but canning the old-fashioned way won't harm you. Can't wait to see the unveiling of your pickles in a few months. Blessings to all!
This is almost exactly how my grandma and our whole family have always made dill pickles. The only difference is we don't use garlic and the vinegar and water ratios are different. I was so excited to see this video. I have great memories of my childhood sitting on my grandma's porch swing with my cousins eating dill pickles! For some reason she mostly canned slices, and yes they stayed crunchy. I think the alum is the secret. We ate so many my grandma canned them in gallon jars😂
I know you all will enjoy them all winter. We also make the 14 day pickles, I shared last year about how we put the green food coloring in the 14 days. We love using them in macaroni salad. Thanks for sharing!
I’m a fan of Justins dill pickles too. Made them last year and have made some this year. Had been thinking about spears and slices. Think I might try them too. Thank you for all you share.
i am so excited to try the recipe. going to the farmers market to get the cucumbers. thanks for sharing.
Thks for sharing the recipe. I have been looking for a dill pickle recipe because the ones I looked at were so involved. I have made bread and butter pickles using the Rebel Cannon way.
UNKNOWINGLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In other words I read an easy recipe and tried it. Worked for me. Never thought anything could happen. If my garden produces enough cukes I will try this for sure. I love crispy dills too. And yours did look so pretty too.
I love pickles and can’t wait to try this recipe!
Be sure to watch Justin’s first 😀
I made them a few months back. You’re right about having them for a special treat. They are delicious! I have a hard time putting them back in the fridge because they are so tasty!
Thank you for introducing me to Justin's channel. I'm going to try his pickle recipe. He made me laugh so hard when he was smashing bugs saying "you were eating my beans and now my beans are going to eat you" as he used them to be fertilizer for his beans.
Great video Mrs. Tipper! I would Love to learn how to can and make pickles one day. My Great Grandma canned, but she was the last one in the family who did. My Mom knew how, but didn't, because we didn't have a garden.
Very interesting thank you for sharing ❤
These look and sound delicious. I need to try them. I found a refrigerator dill pickle recipe a few years back and tried it. It had a little sugar in the recipe, which made me skeptical, because I don’t like sweet pickles. They were delicious and my family loved them. Looking forward to trying these. Take care and God bless y’all. 😀❤️
I make refrigerator pickles all summer long. I don’t have space for storing home canned foods. We love the recipe I use.
They look delicious! I've only made bread and butter pickles. And that was years ago. I prefer dill pickles, and anything sour. Thanks, Tipper. ❤
LOVE these pickles! Just finished making my second batch of 4 qts. as I keep them in the refrigerator. I cut them in the round and halves to fit more in the jars….they’re ready to eat in a day . Gonna try green tomatoes with this recipe. Thank you! ❤🥒
I have tried to replicate my granny's pickle recipe for years. She died before I was 16 years old. But her pickles stayed in the pantry for 3 more years. They were the best dill pickles I have ever had. She had a recipe from a church recipe book from 1899 in Piggott AR. but half the page is missing.
My husband is making pickles right now with cucumbers I grew, while we’re waiting on some slow cooked green beans to get done ❤️
Sounds great!
Love them pickles ❤!!!!!
I have been using the Ball Pickle Crisp in my pickles this year, because mine were mushy that I put up last year. I am hoping the Pickle Crisp will work like the Alum to make them crispy this year. I will have to try this recipe when I get more cucumbers. Mine are about done for this season.
I can't wait to try to make the pickles, thank you for sharing this with me ☮️
I hope you like them!! Check out the pinned comment before you make them!
Thank you for mentioning Pops video!!! We really appreciate it!!! So glad you love the pickles🥒
You are welcome! They are so good 😊
This is very similar to my dill pickle recipe! I add the tablespoon of alum to the liquid and also add a dash of red pepper to each qt jar. TFS. They are delicious! ❤️
Oh I bet Matt would love the pepper 😃
What does TFS stand for?
@@mygarden365 thanks for sharing
I’m so excited. This is my first time to grow cucumbers - or anything other than flowers or herbs and I just made a very small batch of these pickles!
A few weeks ago I made some bread and butter pickles. They aren’t in sealed jars, though. I’m brand new to canning. I’m 58 years old so I’m getting a bit of a late start. 😂
It’s never to late!
Thank you for this video, I want to try this recipe. I just last week or so planted some cucumber plants and I hope they will produce enough for me to try this. It's so late, I do not know what, if any, we will get. The plants do have some little yellow blossoms coming along and the plants are growing.
I have asked many people if they grew up eating (dill) pickles with cake. Growing up in my house, whenever we had birthday cake particularly, we had a jar of pickles out on the table too. We most always had yellow cake with chocolate icing and a pickle alongside of the cake. Most people I have asked turn their nose up at this idea, but I grew up thinking that everyone enjoyed dill pickles with their cake - LOL! I don't know, perhaps it was just my mom and dad's family. Or, it could have just been my dad's taste buds which he had some odd combinations he would put together that you do not really see. He would put fruit cocktail on his tossed salad and I think on vanilla ice cream too. He had been known to put yogurt on top of his vanilla ice cream too claiming it made it healthier 😆. Of my two older brothers and me, only one out of the three of us, my oldest brother, turned out to be a picky eater. He did not like watermelon or tomatoes, but he loved his ketchup. I feel bad for people who do not eat these good things, they are missing out. And I still like a dill pickle with cake, birthday cake especially : )
I am planning on trying Justin's recipe this year.😊
Hope you enjoy 😃
I loved this video. Thanks for sharing. I got the bug to make them now. Well my aunt and uncle did use their dishwasher to sterilize the jars and that always worked.
Made my first batch today. 5 quarts. I'm widowed, so this should last me through the winter. Thanks for sharing.
In the 1960s we raised 3 plus acres of cucumbers yearly for the M A Gedney pickle company. The money I made financed four years of state college. Mom made this pickle evey year and they were always good and crisp. Did not know Mom was a rebel canner.
I grew my own dill for the first time this year and fresh dill makes such a wonderful difference in the taste.
Another couple of tips for crunchy pickles is to 1. Cut off the blossom end of the cuke (about 1/4 inch) as it contains the enzyme that softens the cucumber, and 2. Add grape or oak leaves to the jar to keep the pickles crunchy.
One way I love to use up dill pickles is to make dill pickle soup. Delicious!
Appreciate this recipe and will try it! We've had a bumper crop of cucumbers this year. I even ventured to make cucumber/lime and cucumber/mint popsicles, which are a big hit with the cucumber fans in our family!
Yay for a bumper crop! Be sure to see the pinned comment or watch Justin's video first. I said 1 teaspoon but it is actually 1/4 teaspoon 😀
She’s cooking! I love it!
Did you add canning salt?
We ended up making 22 quarts of these. First time ever making pickles. Thanks for the video!!😁
I've been away awhile, but thankful to see your presentation here today. I'm not sure I want to be near a person that can't enjoy a dill pickle.
Even though it's smarter to not say so much, you look radiant and engaged there. I'm totally enjoying seeing some recent renegade canning from several people. I'm not to afraid to try some out. Blessings. W
Welcome back!
For sure have to try that method, nice, thanks for sharing.
Be sure to check out Justin’s video before you do 😀
We made ours this evening when i got off work. We filmed it and are going to have it for Mondays video if thats ok. We told the people about your and justins channels. Thank you for sharing. God bless
Yay!!!
Thanks for the video. I have to try canning pickles at some point. Perfect time for this video because I'm making a batch of my refrigerator pickles as I was watching this video. 🙂
Those look so good I love pickles especially dill pickles. 😊
I also add a few wild grape leaves to each jar. Helps keep crispy. Also read to cut the ends off to keep them crispy too. About the enzymes
Yes, the grape leaves add tannins that help with crispness. Only the blossom end needs to be cut. It is the one with the enzymes
My Aunt Dorie’s kitchen always smelled like dill in the summertime. She constantly sought to keep her pickles crunchy. Honestly, sometimes they didn’t keep their crunch. We’re up to our ears in cucumbers currently, so I’m going to try making these. I’ll go watch the originator’s video as well.
Thanks for sharing this recipe, Tipper.
Well, I did it. I made a batch of these pickles. I hope they taste as good as they look. I’ll know in a few days…
Yay! Hope you like them as much as we do!!
Please update us on the crunchiness of whole vs chunks!
Tipper those look so good. I'm eager to try that recipe but my pickles didn't do anything this year. Maybe next year. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!!
