I do like this couple. They are real down to earth people just trying to provide the best for their family and doing a good job of it.
@@user-mu6pb9rf9x Me and my wife have became good friends with them and they are the most down to earth hard working people you could ever meet. They are just as down to earth in person as they are in the videos and they never let us leave from a visit without giving us something to take home and try. We treasure their friendship.
I@@johnnysharpe3812 I found their channel a few months ago and I'm so glad I did I can't do a garden or anything really but I enjoy watching them I still dream of being outside with my flowers and everything I miss being able to do it. but watching them give me so much joy because you can just tell they are the real thing not just on here to make money . I love that you have become real friends with them to be able to eat some of her great food and O boy I can taste these pickles never had these before. To see their animals especially her horses they are sure blessed and they know it they are always thankful for everything. 😊
AMEN!
This is the way my Grandmother and Mother made pickles, so of course I thought every other homemade sweet pickle was the same. Imagine my surprise when I found that that was a huge misinterpretation of the truth !😳 It is a big commitment but worth every day you spend on them.
2015 Mom and I were in a car accident . Mom didn’t make it past that day and I was in 4 different hospitals for many surgeries that first year. When things settled down and I was able to look at life again with joy and thankfulness my 2 Sisters and 1 Brother or the golden child as we referred to him told me of the “war” that went on over Momma’s sweet pickles that were put up the summer before. It made my heart sing because I know that would have tickled Mom’s Louisiana heart. Thank you.
Sorry you list your mama but glad you have great memories of her!
Ya'll ever wonder who FIRST figured out how to do this? Imagine all the trial and error! Amazing.
This young lady can do it all 😊
These children already know more than many adults. This is a great family teaching there children the true American way of life.
This is the second year I’ve made your 14 day pickle recipe. They are absolutely wonderful….I’m making twice the amount I made last year so I don’t run out. Instead of making sweet pickle relish, I just take a pint of your pickles and pulse in the food processor. It is THE BEST relish ever! I love you and your sweet family. 😊💛…hugs to your precious babies!!!
LOL!!! 😅😂 Aunt Bee's pickles! Oh my Lord!! 🤣
I broke my Crock. Now I use a food grade white plastic bucket the heat doesn't hurt it.
Thanks for giving me the idea of using a food grade bucket!
My mom made the 14 day pickles just like you had done yours! Have a blessed Day 😊Megan and Andy & Children
Great video! I remember asking you a while back “why doesn’t anyone make sweet pickles?” And here you are! Perfect. Next year…I am going to try growing cucumbers. Hope they do better than my potatoes! 😵💫 thank you!
Whenever I open a bag ,box or can, I make a note and replace it. I keep extras of everything we eat so I rarely run out of something. Since I don’t like going to the store very much, it works for me.
You're one of the only YT channels where I watch the whole video and all the ads. I don't prefer sweet pickles. But I can eat a whole jar of Dill pickles.
My grandmother, mother and myself make these. My grandmother always called them 14 Day Churn Pickles. I guess because she made them in a crock butter churn. These make the best potato salad and tuna fish! Thank you for sharing your version of these delicious pickles!
I love those kids, they are awesome! Loved watching you make your pickles. We always made bread and butter pickles "cause that is my Mom's favorite. They always looked so pretty with all the mustard seeds and celery seeds and everything else. Thank you Megan for showing how those pickles are done. That is some process. By the way you are a beautiful lady inside and out. God Bless this family. Hugs, Rebekah
Great job, Meagan! Mama used to make 21 day pickles, so my sister told me. You are amazing!! I love your positive attitude! ❤️🙏🏻
I’m almost certain this is the recipe my grandma used.. going to try!! She turned her jars upside down as well..
Outstanding job Meghan!😇!😇!😇!😇!
Bless you, you use your hands. Drives me crazy that everyone on TH-cam/ticktoc/instagram wear gloves or uses an unused separate spoon to taste for seasoning. This is your family people. Who lives like that in real life? We all make sure our house, supplies, utensils and hands are clean. They should all get real!
I agree! Our hands are the best tools!
I haven’t made pickles in years. Now I remember why 🤣. Dang gal, you’re a hard worker. But it’s so rewarding to see the fruits of your labour especially in the dead of winter.
You do it like you were taught!
My 14 day sweet pickle recipe calls for starting out (after the brine part) with a weak sugar syrup and adding more sugar to the boiling syrup each day My recipe is from the 1960's or before. I've been making them since then and the recipe was given to me. I think mine are really good, but I make my own pickling spice because there's a thing or two in the boughten kind I don't care for. I also make mine with sliced sideways smallish cukes, and when I do them I clean the vines of really tiny ones, and try to make two half-pints of the tiniest, one for Thanksgiving dinner and one for Christmas dinner. I used to make icicle pickles, too, and I thought they were called that because of the shape. I've made them in dill, bread and butter and sweet kinds. My family liked the dill icicle pickles best. I made so many different pickles trying to stretch the variety of things on the table with not a lot of effort on my part.
You have such amazing patience. And you’re a great teacher!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Love this family
Megan I have single handedly made the worst pickles myself. Reminded me of the kerosene pickles Aunt Bee made on Andy Griffith. I'm sure yours are some of the best out there.
I love Andy Griffith!
I remember that episode😂
If you used a lid to a five gallon bucket, trimmed down to fit inside the 4 gallon crock and drill some 1/4 inch holes with a 1/2 inch hole in the center. The half inch hole is put your finger in to remove it. It would make draining them much easier.
Lovey eats good at that farm doesn’t he? He’s so cute and Maggie feeding him was sweet. I love to eat fresh corn raw too.
I was thinking to myself that this was too much work for me.....then I heard you crunch-a-munch on them and I started drooling 🤤 I need to do some math to scale it down. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Good morning from NW Oregon
Cooler weather for a few days is very welcome, had a great weekend at the beach, just a short break now back to it!! Have a bountiful day😊❤
I remember Grandma making them years ago as well as grape leaf pickles in her crock.
We didn’t have a lot of land but my dad always planted corn and it was so great to eat the right off the stock!
Meagan I honestly hadn’t planned on watching this video. I only watched it to support your channel. I had never heard of icicle pickles and wasn’t interested in another pickle recipe. That’s BECAUSE I only like one kind of pickle. And guess what kind of pickle that is? Well if you guessed 14 day pickles, you guess right. 😂😂😂. So glad I watched this.
My grandmother made 14 day pickles
Your cabinets remind me me of my Aunt sure miss her
Great video! My mom used the same recipe. She has been gone home to be with the Lord for 30 years but watching you made me feel like she made a batch yesterday. Great memories!
Found your channel through Celebrating Appalachia channel. So glad I did!
I want some!!! Everything here was destroyed by the hurricane.❤❤❤xxoo
If you have a recipe for fire and ice pickles I would love to see how they are made.i used to buy them in cherokee and would love to make some.thanks
My mom use to make them omgggggg so delicious we put them in tater salad mc salad egg salad deviled eggs o how I miss her an them delicious pickles ❤❤❤I absolutely love y’all’s channel ❤
Those are the best sweet pickles! I've never made them, but my mom used to and they're an excellent pickle! I like how crunchy they are too. Mom would finely chop them up and add to chicken salad or potato salad. So delicious!
Wish mama was living she made those 14 days pickles.they were so good love watching your videos
Thank you for sharing!!!
My aunt would make celery pickles!!! They are amazing!! I asked her for the recipe…. Can’t wait to make them !!!
That was awesome Megan, thanks for sharing with us. You all are doing a great job around there. Stay safe and keep up the great videos and sharing the fun you have around there. Fred.
Sugar and cloves is what I raised on.Made some good sweet pickles.But it was what I was raised on never seen this recipe very interesting.
They are scrumptious. I have made them before, many years ago.
Thank you. I was very intimidated with this and you made it look, I'm going to try it.
Thanks for the demo!!!!!
Love watching you. It's like I'm sitting in your kitchen. I've made refrigerator pickles. They good and really easy.
The only thing left to say is "YUM". Loved the video .
Mom makes these sliced like pickle chips but does this in 3 days. They are awesome!!! Sweeet with that bite but after that first one ya can’t stop eating em! She uses the juice for deviled eggs and tater salad 😋
Oh my gosh! I can't wait to make these! Our family loves all different kinds of pickled veggies but this will be our first time trying 14-day / icicle pickles. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us! 🤗 -best wishes, Sheri
Thank you for this recipe! Makes me want to eat one right now. I have been canning bread and butter pickles and wish I had known about this earlier, but pickles are still making so hopefully I can try it.
This is how Mamaw made her pickles, but she didn't can hers. Sweet memories
Well done looking 👀 fantastic ❤❤❤❤xxxxx
Exactly how my grandma taught me to do it. I sure do miss her 😢
Can't wait to make these!!! Love your canning recipes!
These are the worlds best pickles, in my opinion ❤❤❤
You get an A+ for effort!!! I wouldn't have the patience to do that.
Ain’t bees kerosene cucumbers! lol
We watch Andy every night for the few hours it’s on . While working around the house just have it on in the background some days
Awesome video. Thank u all. Have a Blessed day
I enjoy your videos. You make things look easy. I just made some refrigerator dill,pickles. I new to canning etc
I love making 14 day pickles so easy and very very good.
Question, do you ever make a pickle relish besides your chow chow for the convenience of having for different salads and things ?
My mother made ice cycle pickles like that in her grandmother’s crock that was handed down from the 1800s. She had two stones that fit the crock on top. One was used for kraut that she made in the same crock. I guess the other one was used for pickles
Love watching the channel!
Thank you Megan for sharing this recipe. Sweet pickles are my favorite. Also, I like how you explain things so we can understand & actually makes me want to try to do the process
Yummy. Good pickles !!!
Megan, love your videos. Your details are amazing and so easy to follow. Thanks for your experience instructions.
Sometimes the old way are better
I make these too and we love them! My recipe is slightly different than yours but pretty much the same and you are right they just get better with age lol. My cucumbers did terrible this year so I decided to try making my 14 day pickles with watermelon rind and wow so so good!
Hey Megan can I use a plastic food grade bucket to make these pickles
Yummy
I have a1/2 gal. left for 3yrs. just get better
Looks delicious 😋 thanks for sharing with us sweet lady. You are a very hard working lady. Love all your and Andy's videos, and the precious kids. God Bless..
Great video, thank you!!!
I could see me boiling that corn on the cob and then putting some butter on it yummy
I make them every year learned from my mom she put green food colouring in it too
My first year making these so excited
Good Morning
Thanks for sharing 👍🤓👍
My grandma made these same pickles but she didn't make them sweet.
I really love your channel!!! I always learn something new and it's always great
I really enjoyed this video! It brought back a lot of memories of when I was physically able to can pickles. Watching you prepare for and can your vegetables gives me an opportunity to live vicariously through you. Thanks Megan!
I make crunchy pickles without all that fuss and bother by using pickling lime. Twenty four hrs in the lime water then twenty four in ice water, fill the jars with the cukes, vinegar, spices and 10 mins in the water bath canner and they stay crisp for yrs. I opened a jar of sweet pickles that was 10 yrs old and they were still crunchy.
Thank you Megan 🥒
Learned something new. Again. 😊
Thank you, this year is my first time gardening, some cucumbers came out good and others well...I gotta learn more but I will can up the small blessings blessing.
Just finished my icicle pickles. Ended up with 12 pints. Thanks!
We love 14-day pickles. We can those and lime pickles every year, and no matter how many I can we always run out. It's like the more of them we have the more we eat..lol. Anyone who has not tried them really should. They are wonderful. Hope ya'll are getting some of this wonderful rain!
How are the texture of these compared to lime pickles? I love that texture!
@@ginabooe5587 These are a bit softer in texture. Not mushy or anything, but not as crisp as the lime ones.
Never seen this recipe but I intrigued.
Excellent! Very well presented! I’m not really a huge fan of sweet pickles, 🥒 but dang if you didn’t make me want some! Get the three gallon crock down…here we go!
I make something very similar but only take 7 days. I also cut them in rings instead of spears. Very yummy.
Make up a batch of green tomato pickles by your recipe. Even better than cucumbers. Give it a try.
FUN!!!
I have made 9 day pickles for many years but my recipe says to drain brine and bring to a boil and pour back over pickles after 3 days and again after 6 days. Then I do the alum just like you did and then the brine, for 3 days. The recipe I use calls for cinnamon sticks instead of pickling spice and green food coloring, but the green coloring is optional. They make a really good pickle too. Thanks for sharing your method. Think I'll give it a try.
Those pickles look delicious. I thought they are called icicle pickles because they are shaped like icicles. Yummy!
Love this! I hope I get enough cucumbers to try this recipe.
My mom made the 14 day sweet pickles and they were so good it was hard to stop eating them sometimes because they were so good
Loved this video ❤😊
Those pickles look delicious you make everything look so easy love your all's videos
Hard work but worth it . Thanks for sharing 🙏 ❤❤❤
I use pickling lime for crisp pickles… pretty much same process you re using in video with the alum-I’ve never seen anyone else using pickling lime🤷🏻♀️. Is it a bad No No that I’m not aware of? I love that there’s so many ways to pickle!
