We made a ton. About the only thing besides okra that did good this year. Got some 1/2 gallon jars from Ace and they really turned out good.

Thanks for the recipe

ETA used the same recipe with some okra HUGE WIN

It is that time of year again.  Just came home from the farmer's market with a few bags of pickling cucumbers and some hot peppers.  
11.5 quarts of pickles later....  All have garlic, dill, black peppercorns and crushed red pepper flakes.  A few jars had a habanero or red chile added.  
Also did one quart of pickled red chiles and two pints of pepper vinegar.

So yesterday I went to the basement and grabbed one of my last quart jars.  This one was dill and jalepeno.  OMG!!  They've got to be the best pickles I've ever had!!!!

I think I used two jalepeno's, split with seeds left in.  Not hot at all, just a bit of spice.

They're awesome!!

How can you keep these crunchy? I like them crunchy, and the wife won't eat them if they aren't.

The grape leaf was key as the pickles would be soggy without them.





That's interesting, are they still canned or are they fermented pickles? I'll have to read up about using grape leaves, I have a pinot noir vine that's very vigorous this year.

I missed or forgot the part of placing the jars in a hot water bath. I pulled them from the dish washer and filled them up one didn't seal but for safe measure their all in the fridge.

Bump. Just because it's that time again. $6/ basket of nice small pickles at the Public market this morning. In process now.

did a batch of 6 jars
had one fail to seal due to my own fault and one was iffy over night
so I put them both in the fridge and they both sealed up.
whats the deal on that? just leave them in there?

I would, because if they didn't seal on their own there may be a problem down the line. However treating them as "refrigerator pickles" will be fine.

Just a FYI for the newbies: In general a basket of small pickles will fill 12 one quart jars. Having done this recipe  several times now, the op's recipe will do 10.
Add 1 cup vinegar, 3 cups water and 1/3 cup pickling salt (1 quart total) to do 2 additional one quart jars. YMMV.

Between chores, harvesting, canning and going to our camp, it will be some time before I see the shooting club range again. But it's worth it.

yes
they didn't seal and they won't "store" forever
but fridge pickles they'll be fine.

enjoy

Must've done something wrong.  Just made 4 jars, none of them sealed.  Had them upside down for 20 min or so.



Should I just keep these in the fridge, or try it again?

If you don't try to reseal immediately, treat them as refrigerator pickles.
Did you "poke" everything down to remove air bubbles after pouring the hot brine into the jars?  Also, everything must be hot enough and the correct air space left  ( I leave 1/2") to contract enough to seal properly.

My jalapeño and cubanelle plants are producing more than I can eat fresh.  I picked everything of decent size and used this recipe, minus dill and red pepper, to can them.  I cut the cubanelles into rings.  I cut the jalapeños in half.  The stem and most of the inner flesh and seeds were removed from both.  I ended up with 11 quart jars.  All sealed.  I like pickled peppers on sandwiches.  Look forward to tasting these in 3 weeks.

I have some jars that are over a year old and still perfectly fine.  Pickles become a little less crunchy but more flavorful.

I have had 0 jars fail to seal.

I have peppers coming out my ass and I was wondering if you could substitute peppers for cukes in the recipe.  



Any idea if the shelf life is reduced at all?

This is true. I enjoyed the green tomatoes as much as the pickles.  The pickled carrots were also great.
