I make several batches of sweet cucumber pickles each year. My husband loves them, plus I use them in potato salad etc. I have no trouble making crispy sweet pickles, but my dill pickles always come out "soft". Does anyone here have a TRIED and TRUE recipe that makes dill pickles that are crispy? Something that must be easy since I haven't figured out the ones I already have tried.... Thank you for your help.

LOL....I think a solid block of ice would work as well :)
I'm going to have to get some salmon to freeze before I can try this!

Here is my recipe for Dill Pickles. It won the blue ribbon at the Indiana State Fair last year.
4 quarts water
1 quart vinegar
1 cup canning salt
Heat to boiling.
1 head dill per jar
1 clove garlic per jar
Split pickles into halves or quarters and place in jar with dill and garlic. Pour vinegar mixture over pickles, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Top with lid and ring. Process 5 minutes in boiling water bath.

No wonder my pickles are MUSH - I think I gave them a bath for 15-20 minutes!
They're dilly but mush :( :( :oops: :cry:

The recipe in a newer cookbook says you should use a timer ,as the 5mins in hot water bath is critical for crisp pickles.
PROCESS 5 MINUTES ??? :shock: :shock: :shock:
