Realizing I neglected to show how I pour off the melted ice water (which contains the salt.) You can also run some cold water over the pickles and pour that off.
I am new to canning and I have my first garden and lots of cucumbers! I’m following your video step by step! Thank you so very much for such easy to follow instructions! I can’t wait to eat them!
1st time watching your videos. I enjoyed your patience and expaination step by step. I'll be picking pickles soon and I'll come back to your video to make your Bread and Butter Pickles. Thank you and Jonas for this video.
Went to the Market and bought almost 8 pounds at .49 cents a pound I felt it was a good buy. So I came back to your recipe. They're in the fridge waiting on the next step. Thank you.
These are Truly the best Bread and butter pickle recipe! I am new to canning and your video was very helpful thanks for sharing your knowledge! Friends and Family Loved Them!
Your son was so sweet and friendly. You have to be very proud of him. Most would hide and not say a word. I am going to make some of those. Thank you for sharing.
I’m working on my third batch of these this summer. My husband eats a lot of pickles and absolutely loves this recipe. I followed it exactly and it’s perfect!
thank you my mom made this with thin slices and i been looking for the recipe. i would still a jar on the way to school and she be so mad. but so good. thank you good memories
I loved the way you explained everything, clear and precise. My son and daughter also help me can. This is the first time I have seen any of your videos. I also do alot of dehydrating and we even tried making hard apple cider. That was way too much work.
Thank you for watching! It’s always surprising to me which videos go viral and which don’t. I’m grateful for the supportive feedback I’ve received! I love canning, and as a teacher, I’ll keep sharing!
Great video! I love the country life and so great to see Jonas. Teenagers and their junk foods 😂 I can’t wait to try this recipe. I’m with Chuck, I want a sandwich too. That’s cool to see the bubbles. I love the knife skills, I’m big into that.
I don't add my veggies to the hot brine, they just get too soggy for my taste. I cool the brine to room temperature and add pickle crisp and my pickles are crispy like refrigerator pickles, with all the flavor.
Yes Please, They also make great gifts to family members who are dislocated from the Continental United States!!! Just sayin'! Great video, super informative!
You are a great teacher, I’m learning so much from you,I’ve been watching lots of canning video’s but they don’t go into detail like you. I have the canning guide you’re using.We’re empty nesters, can I cut this recipe in half? Also I’m wondering if it’s ok to mail canned items safely?
Thank you! I love to teach! Yes, you can cut the recipe in half and do a small batch. (I almost never do because my children eat a lot or I give them away as gifts.) But yes, you can halve the recipe. I tried to send some canned items to my brother in Afghanistan when he was there. I wrapped in A LOT of bubble wrap. The pickles made it, but the jar of peaches cracked and leaked. :( Luckily I had them in a large plastic bag, so it didn’t ruin everything else. Happy Canning!
I started a garden this yr for the first time. Last night I made my first jars of bread and butter pickles and I did it just like you said.. almost. I packed the pickles in the jar then poured the brine in. Problem was my cold pickles in the semi hot water caused one of the jars to bust. It’s was a mess but anyways.. next time I’ll be sure to put the pickles in the brine first. I plan on opening these up July 4th and try another recipe next. Ty for the hard work.. I’ll update on the 4th when I get to try them!
Thanks! Once we open a jar, we switch to the solid white plastic lids to store in the refrigerator for regular use. It’s just easier than dealing with rings and lids that separate!
The only thing I don't agree with is the amount of sugar. I use 1 cup and I also add a stick of cinnamon ans a cup of apple cider vinegar. It's all about preference and this is just my 2 cents worth. Thanks and Keep on Picklin'...
I was pleased to see you sterilize your funnel, butter knife and tongs. It only takes a second to stay safe and sanitize everything. Keeps your family healthy. Great video.
Great question! I wasn’t able to find an answer to this question in my early days either. I settled on this plan, and I’m happy with it.... I chill mine in a large stainless steel bowl with ice and salt, and when the ice melts, I swish the cucumbers around the bowl to “rinse off” the salt and the salt falls to the bottom. Then I ladle the cucumbers to the pot with the brine mix. I’m sure some of the salt transfers, but it doesn’t affect the flavor!
My bread and butter pickles came out very salty. I thought I rinsed them well. If not, would that be the only reason they are salty? Can I salvage them, or do I need to toss them and start over
He has always been my errand buddy! We often ate sushi together before grocery shopping when he was in kindergarten! Now he’s off serving our country and I miss him dearly!
The big one I use to ice down the cucumbers is 17” across the top (narrows to 6” at the base) and it’s 7” tall. I have about 8 more in various sizes - lol! (Former restaurant manger…old habits die hard! 😂)
Officially, the canning books will tell you 1 year. Our family has been known to find a jar hiding in the back of the shelf a couple of years later and ate them anyway! They don’t spoil, but they are less crunchy in time.
I just went back and watched my video and realized I edited out a step. Yes, I pour off the water that has melted and run some cold water on top, then pour that off too. I can’t go back and edit a video, I’ll try and pin and comment. Thanks!
You do not “have” to rinse the salt off, but I do pour off most of the salty liquid (not sure if that made the edit.) You can also rinse if you choose, but even without rinsing, they never taste especially salty to me. If you look at about 1:35-1:40 in the video, you’ll see a zoom in of my instruction book. The lower section recommends using pickling lime and rinsing multiple times for a firmer pickle. Personal choice. We find most of the salt is in the liquid I pour away.
Pause the video at 1:30… entire recipe is available to screenshot or copy. I use the ag extension agency canning guide. Available at your local Ag extension agency, or on Amazon.
The recipe is in the USDA canning book I mentioned. It’s in my Amazon Storefront if you would like to purchase a copy. If you pause the video at 1:38… I show a close up of the recipe.

LOVE the smell (and taste!) of fresh pickles in the house!! Great vid!

Thank you so much! Love sharing jobs like this with my kiddos!

Hard apple cider is a big project! So good - but a hobby I’m not taking up soon! :) Glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you - More coming soon!

Best recipe I’ve seen yet. Thank you.
Thank you!

Thanks! I look forward to hearing about your success when you make these!
Good simple recipe. My hubby loves them SPICY so I add some sliced hot peppers to the brine.
That’s a great addition!
Love this video! Super informative and very entertaining. Can’t wait to make some!!
Please share when you do!
I don't add my veggies to the hot brine, they just get too soggy for my taste. I cool the brine to room temperature and add pickle crisp and my pickles are crispy like refrigerator pickles, with all the flavor.
Thanks good learning how to pickle

Chuck Chalfant Thank you! I’m off to find some bubble wrap to ship a jar across the pond! 👍
How tight do you screw down the lids before placing them in the water bath?
I put plastic wrap on the top of the onions and cukes before dumping the ice...little easier to remove the ice.
That works! Great idea!

I’m putting some on my sandwich today for lunch! 😍 Enjoy!!
Do the cucumber have to be pickling ones or will the table ones work?
how do you reseal the pics when you get rid of the rings. nice video.
Thanks! Once we open a jar, we switch to the solid white plastic lids to store in the refrigerator for regular use. It’s just easier than dealing with rings and lids that separate!
The only thing I don't agree with is the amount of sugar.

Ya got a subscriber lady, like the way you don't dilly dally

They look yummy. Just a question. Do you rinse off the salt before putting them in the brine.

I chill mine in a large stainless steel bowl with ice and salt, and when the ice melts, I swish the cucumbers around the bowl to “rinse off” the salt and the salt falls to the bottom. Then I ladle the cucumbers to the pot with the brine mix. I’m sure some
of the salt transfers, but it doesn’t affect the flavor!
@@LifeAtTheNest thanks so much. I will do that.
My bread and butter pickles came out very salty. I thought I rinsed them well. If not, would that be the only reason they are salty? Can I salvage them, or do I need to toss them and start over
Thanks! If your jars are fully covered laying down, is it safe? My pot isn't deep enough for standing.
They should always be standing upright. The pressure on top of the jar is needed to create the seal. You can use smaller pint jars though.
I made too much brine for my bread and butter pickles ,can I use it another day by reheating it for another batch ?
Yes! You can also use it to pickle other veggies or make pickle relish. Just reheat before canning.
How on earth did you get a teenage boy yo ho grocery shopping with you? You are blessed. Thanks for your recipe.
He has always been my errand buddy! We often ate sushi together before grocery shopping when he was in kindergarten! Now he’s off serving our country and I miss him dearly!
Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar
Yes. Though it will darken the cucumbers.
When would one add the pickling lime
I use pickling salt and ice instead of pickling lime to help make my pickles crispy.
Can I ask what size your stainless steel bowls are?
The big one I use to ice down the cucumbers is 17” across the top (narrows to 6” at the base) and it’s 7” tall. I have about 8 more in various sizes - lol! (Former restaurant manger…old habits die hard! 😂)
how long will they last
Officially, the canning books will tell you 1 year. Our family has been known to find a jar hiding in the back of the shelf a couple of years later and ate them anyway! They don’t spoil, but they are less crunchy in time.
So you don’t rinse the salt off the vegetables?

Thanks for asking this. I've been scrolling through looking for the recipe. And thanks for pointing where to find it!
