With that in mind, I was surprised to find how many of these suggestions I already use, but some may find them useful.
P.S. if anyone has a favorite recipe for Refrigerator Dill Pickles, please share a link I will be “in your debt” and so will the guy in the other room.
P.S. jr : Claussen is our preferred brand since we no longer live where pickles are in a wooden barrel in the corner of the deli.

We have been making tons of pickles this summer. I use https://nchfp.uga.edu/index.html for safe and yummy canning. lots of pickles and basic safety information on canning and methods. We have made Giardenera, Dill pickles, Sweet pickles, pickled Beats, and we’ll be doing some fruit pickles later.
