I have canned 15 quarts of different varieties. We have a fridge full of refrigerator pickles and no I am being challenged to make some dill pickles in the crock.
Something I didn't know and I thought rather strange...the recipes called of oak leaves or grape leaves. You break that right....leaves. They are to go in between the layers of pickles, onions, garlic, and mustard seed to help keep the pickles crisp. Had no clue. I couldn't climb the oak tree to get fresh leaves so Mark headed to Jungle Jims to get some in a jar.
The kraut crock is now the dill pickle crock.
It is going to be a challenge for me not to open that lid for two weeks. Man, I sure hope they turn out.
If you would like to try them here is a link to the recipe from God's Growing Garden.
