What I didn’t see here was HOW MANY qts.. Or whatever this makes..that is an IMPORTANT part of canning..I am going to try this recipe hopefully it was for a full canner .. Renee – I am not an expert on canning and safety. I typically follow a recipe as it’s written to be sure. I would check the guidelines over at the National Center for Home Preservation.
Drain; rinse and drain again. The Better Homes & Gardens Test Kitchen has been in continuous operation for nearly 100 years, developing and testing practical, reliable recipes that readers can enjoy at home. Together, the team tests more than 2,500 recipes, produces more than 2,500 food images, and creates more than 1,000 food videos each year in the state-of-the-art test kitchen. Well, somewhere along the line, the book is now shredded, and the recipe apparently lost.
Bourbon Sauce
Bring just to boiling, stirring carefully. SDSU Extension recommends using evidence-based recipes when engaging in food preservation at home. The recipe above has been research-tested and provided by the National Center for Home Food Preservation.
Add the vegetables and slowly return the contents to a boil. Plus, it didn’t hurt that we had a ridiculous amount of cucumbers on hand. For the first time , the cucumber plants that I planted in my garden are producing cucumbers… LOTS of them!
Best Ever Dill Pickles
Do not modify ingredients. Soak cucumber slices in lime water for 12 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally. Secure lids and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes . Cut 1/16-inch off blossom end and discard.
Prepare as above except substitute chocolate milk for the milk and semisweet chocolate pieces for the raisins. Omit nutmeg and add 1/2 cup chopped pecans, toasted. Omit sauce and, if desired, serve with vanilla ice cream. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 1 1/2-quart casserole; set aside.
Refrigerator Pickles
If you're ready to dive right in, you can kick things off with the classics—banana bread, Irish soda bread, or breakfast muffins. Stick to the tried-and-true basics or move on to the many variations using different flavors or baking techniques. If you're feeling more experimental, dig in to flaky biscuit and yeast bread recipes. After you've enjoyed your fill of heavenly breads, use our storage tips to preserve that fresh-from-the-oven goodness as long as possible. I would never skip the BWB step.
Sprinkle with salt; toss gently to coat. Top with 2 inches of crushed ice. Weight down mixture with a heavy plate. Allow to stand at room temperature for 2 hours. Combine cucumbers, onions, pickling salt, and garlic.
Juices from other recipe. Put drained pickles in a large bowl slicing to desired thinness. Prepare as directed through step 3, except add 1 or 2 sprigs fresh dill to each jar. Store pickles in the refrigerator up to 1 month. Fill jars with slices and cooking syrup, leaving ½-inch headspace. 6 medium white onions, sliced – I often use 2 large onions, and use Vidalia onions when they are less expensive.
Pack cucumbers and onions in jars as directed in step 2. Proceed as directed. "I'll just plant two cucumber seedlings this season, that'll be all I need," you told yourself.
I guess you could easily double it for a large one. It looks really close to my old recipe. I think I'll have to get that "Joy of Pickling" cookbook. I know this is about toaster vs toaster ovens and I will comment but I am against microwaves. I just don't feel comfortable around them.
I’m such a wuss when it comes to that business though… I’d so much rather do a batch of freezer pickles and call it a day. Spread melted butter on buns. Wrap each bun in foil, place on cookie sheet. All ingredients with Hellmann's mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste.
What a success story! The pickles look great. And you are correct about the tried and true Better Homes and Garden Cookbook. This looks to be like a good recipe for a small batch.
I use my large confection toaster oven for everything but don't like the look of it in my small kitchen so I am looking for a third option. I need something small and it looks like my overused toaster oven is about to give up after 2 years anyway. You are right about those cookbooks, absolutely any recipe you could ever need.
