Question Any picklers????

My father n law used to pickle bell peppers by the gallon. Boil vinegar and water and let sit a couple weeks . I didn't care for them cause they were soft. He told me keep in fridge and they stay crisp and so it was . Well I got my own recipe and keep in fridge to stay crisp . This year I got tired of giving away all my cukes so I thought I'd pickle a few of them. Keep in fridge same as bell pepper. Well I would like to put up in cabinet instead of cluttering up fridge and did some investigating and they say to pressure cook or boil 10 minutes after canning...If everything clean and you pour boiling pickling liquid in jar and it cool down and makes vacuum I would think it is good to go. Later on if it looses it's vacuum then it would be bad...Is it really necessary to boil or pressure cook to store o a shelf?????

We would drop the jars in a pot of water then bring it to a boil. After a few minutes we would pull them and let them cool on the island in the kitchen. Then the waiting game, if they sucked down they were good. Give them a good 12 hours before you rule them out. To answer the question, as long as your jars/lids/equipment are sterile then all is well when the lid sucks down.

I made up 35 jars last year and this was the easy method and they were crisp bread n butter pickles...ordered on amazon...some i put some red pepper flakes and a little fresh garlic for spicy pickles. Stuffed jars with cut up cukes and made up mixture and poured over. Just make sure to wipe the op of jars with clean wet rag and seal tight with new lids. I had one jar that failed to pop down.

Now with pickle crisp? granules for crunchier pickles.
Homemade crunchy pickles have never been easier.
No need to waste time with pickling lime and hassle with soaking cucumbers to make crisp pickles.

This goes without saying but for the ones that don't seal (lids don't pop down) simply toss them in the fridge and eat those first.

Well I popped the lid on a jar from 6-1 and they crisp enough and had a vaccum so I guess next year if I'm blessed with a good crop I'll have to do more and quit throwing away the culls....I also cooked down some tomato's with a tad lemon juice and made some of the best sauce I ever had . Sauce and pickles are fairly cheap in the store but they just don't compare with home made....

Well how about this... Wife and I pulled into BR couple of weeks ago, helping one of our kids moving back to LSU. Anyway we checked in to the hotel late- like 11:30pm. Hungry nothing open wanted a cold beer wound up at Chilis. I know but it's what we had. Sorry for the build up but my youngest ordered a burger and one of his sides were "pickles" but they looked like fresh cucumbers so I tried one and DAMN it was a blast of flavor. Called the waitress over and she told me that they "pickle" them every morning! Basically salt pepper,hot pepper sauce and vinager.. So they sit for like 10-12 hrs, they were damn good. Wondering what y'all think I've never pickled or put veges up but these things were great! Is that some quick trick or what? Sorry I have. Done peppers from the garden but let them set for a couple months.
