I love these old ratty books. Especially the ones that have multiple people adding to the books. You know that everybody came forward with their best recipes. Thanks for watching! Colleen

Currently waiting for the pickles in the waterbath and I wanted to say thanks for such a great tutorial! It made me feel like my mom/grandma was teaching me how to make them and it warmed my heart beyond words.

Thank You For Making This A Simple Step by Step. Especially For Us Newbie Canners. This Recipe Reminds Me Of My Gran’s Pickles🥒

Great video!! Thankyou. I'm going to follow your recipe! Love old ratty books! I have my aunt's original Purity Cookbook! She died when I was 12 and I am now 70. She wrote all over the pages, making little adjustments. Very precious to me.

Hello Marie, I do to! It is an interesting old book because we I collected recipes from some of my family, collected some from recipe books and then before one of our family reunions one of my cousins asked each family for a recipe which she compiled into a small cookbook. I just added my collected recipes into the book and boy it has been used alot. I will have to use it for other recipes to share. Take care, Colleen

Going to try ur recipe. Looks great!😊

Do u not put a silver butter knife down the sides of jars to get any air out first b4 sealing?

I need to see the water bath and how you do it. Thanks jackue

Question. I see your brine is 3:1 water to vinegar. Every Ball recipe I read says equal parts vinegar to water. Is less vinegar acceptable for long term shelf storage? Thinking about that dreaded botulism. Thanks.

@oursilvermoments6028

For long term storage I would follow the Ball recommendation. I usually make batches of 6 to 8 at a time and end up sharing them before 3 months are up. Take care, Colleen

Coleen you didn't top and tail the last jar and a half, left the blossom end on, first jar is good, and half of the second jar you top and tailed, but then forgot after that, oh well, these things happen. No problem, they'll taste good anyway! TFS.

If you’ll cut the tops and bottoms of the cloves then put them in a jar and shake them, all the paper peelings will just come off and you won’t have to stand there and peel them. I just think it’s a bit easier.

Hello Florence, You are absolutely right. I usually have things prepared ahead so people so not have to watch the tedious parts. But definitely that is the way to do a bunch all at once. Thanks for watching!

I’ve canned dill pickles twice now, and I have had the same issue both times; I keep ending up with twice as much brine as will fit into my jars. I already half the recipe because I’m using pint jars, but still have way too much brine. My concern is that I won’t have enough salt or vinegar in the jars. Anyone know why this might be happening to me, or if it will be a problem with the shelf stability?

@oursilvermoments6028

It seems we all over estimate the brine but it should make a different. The equivalents haven't changed. I put excess brine in a jar in the fridge and use it to quick pickle or make refrigerator pickles.

Are these jars sterilizes first?😊

I hope you have a daughter to pass your little book too. It would be a shame for the recipes to be lost. Thanks

You should always sterilize your canning jars whether you are water bath canning or pc because not all bacteria visible to the eye and if you are putting food inside the jar and there is bacteria in there you are in trouble. Cheers, Colleen

No need to apologize for any “mess”. We all live in real life, and any snarky comments would be made by people who take pleasure in making critical comments, to make them feel better about themselves, I guess. Most people are focusing on what you are doing and not paying any attention to what is in the background.
