Kosher or canning salt is coarser throwing off a recipe. For exaggeration purposes, picture filling up a quart Mason jar with two cups of pebbles versus two cups of sand, both are two cups.

The pickles I put into the crocks on 8/20, I took out today. Snappy little guys with great blend of dill and garlic. This is four days earlier than normal, but the taste test said to do so. 28 quarts and I bet they don't last until Xmas unless I hide some of them!

I am really curious as to how all of the pickles turned out. Of particular interest is how the grape leaf worked for improving crispness. Thanks...Euclid

I am sorry I never wrote with a report! It was hard to tell how or if the grape leaf worked as the prior batch of pickles I made was a nice batch of earl;y season cukes, while the last batch were later season ones, which weren't as good and crisp to start with. They came out really nice, but what I should have done is left the grape leaf out of one jar. I am not too good at the old scientific method!

Grampy's recipe sounds interesting.Does it need to be refrigerated? I would like to try it but I don't have the room so keep my canning in the basement.

Yes, like the commercial pickles made in this manner (Ba-Tempte) these need to be kept in fridge.

Yesterday I made up three crocks of pickles, cauliflower and yellow peppers. They will sit in the brine for a period of three weeks. The brine recipe is:
10 lbs pickles
3 bunches of fresh dill
1.5 cups canning salt
2 cups vinegar
2 gallons water
1 grape leaf per layer of pickles
4 peeled garlic per layer
Making sure everything is free of dirt and no softness/rot to the pickle is very important. As the brining process continues, one must inspect the crock to remove any scum that may be on the surface (this is normal). All ingredients must be submerged totally. IMO, these pickles are outstanding and the grape leaves do keep the pickle firm at least in the process just offered. I see no reason why the grape leaf in your process would not be helpful. I think the grape leaf has some of the properties of alum which most, but not all, pickle processors incorporate in their process. Good luck with your pickles and look forward to your opinion if the grape leaf was helpful
I've been searching for a hot pickled cauliflower brine recipe sans (or minimal) sugar, with little success. Do you use the above brine recipe for your cauliflower, too, or something else? If other, care to share? Thanks.

Besides the garlic,I know throwing in a tablespoon or two of horseradish adds a great flavor!!

Reviving an old thread. I just made 4 quarts of Grampys pickles. Tony, your original post said to keep in a cool dry place. Do they need to be the refrig from the beginning?
