How to make pickles step by step?

[ReeseTaki]

Hey gang, decided to dive into canning pickles and figured I’d share the steps . First, you’ll want to sterilize your jars and lids. Then, pack your cucumbers tight into those jars, adding your chosen spices and garlic for that kick. Boil your vinegar, water, and salt mix, then pour it over the cucumbers, leaving some space at the top. Seal them up, process in a water bath for a secure seal, and then — patience — wait a few weeks for flavors to meld. Anyone else got tips or tricks for canning perfection? ╰(*°▽°*)╯

I think starting with fresh cucumbers and a brine made of vinegar, water, salt, and spices is key to making delicious pickles

You're right, fresh and firm cucumbers are key! Experimenting with spices and adjusting the vinegar-water ratio can really enhance the flavor. And labeling the jars is a great tip for tracking the aging process. Happy pickling!
