There was a very good one on allrecipes.com for dill garlic pickles. We did a ton of jars of these and were very satisfied.

Are you jerkin’ my gerkin?
Mount Olive makes a good pickle.
These were pretty good:
I made a batch of pickled Brussels sprouts yesterday. Boil them just long enough to soften them, put them in a jar with some spices. Good stuff.
Green eyes.. I think I remember a FR from the gardening thread posting a pickle recipe? Any memory?
I *really*, *really* like the Ball Kosher Dill Pickle Mix and recipe right off the back of the mix. I add several cloves of garlic and about a tsp of prepared horseradish per quart. Kirby cukes work well as do the “Persian” cukes I get at the Asian markets. Halves and quarters depending on the size of the fruit. Adding a bit of alum will “tighten” the flesh of the cukes but you may want to experiment as I only use alum when making my sweet pickled green tomatoes..
jamestown1630 has a weekly cooking thread (usually on Thursdays). Maybe someone there has a recipe?

See post 32 for a good recipe. The grape keaves provide tannin which provides the crunch. Or you can use horseradish leaves for that purpose. I also add a few whole cloves and a bay leaf. These are a good source for probiotics. You can also see the recipe used by www.nourishedkitchen.com
