Katherine started a bread and butter pickle before she left this morning. Interesting recipe from the ball blue book (p. 29). Made 8 pints of bread and butter pickles.
This is my normal dill pickle recipe: Quick dill pickles
I did a modified dill recipe for 14 more pints. Instead of soaking for 12 hours, I cut them into spears FIRST, and then soaked for 2 hours in brine. Then I processed them as before. I have the rest of the cucumbers in soaking in brine right now. I need to wait at least 2 hours I figure. Also, I need to let the existing jars cool a bit before I can move them out of the way!
Evidently, I overtightened? or overfilled? a couple of the jars. One lid buckled a little - another buckled a lot. Here is a pic:
Seems to have sealed but I am not sure I trust it. We will see.
