Thank you, I try to keep it as real as I can. Best wishes, Colleen

[@kimwiscaver8686]

Great job! Since this is a refrigerator pickle, do you think I can use Splenda in stead of regular sugar? Thanks!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

@@kimwiscaver8686 yes, I haven't tried it but I use Splenda in baking and because its refrigerated it should be fine.

I have a bumper crop of cucumbers this year and have been making refrigerator garlic dill pickles and sharing with family & friends. I am the only one in my household that likes a sweet pickle so I'm very happy you have given the amounts for just a quart. I will definitely be making them today. Have a lovely day, I'm off to harvest more cucumbers.

[@bonniebartlow5631]

A quart of dill pickles that’s good and crunchy is probably more than four US dollars for a quart size m, thank you !!! for helping us save money and enabling us to have crunchy, dill pickles.

[@moirasimmerson929]

I made the dill pickles using your recipe about a week ago. I had an onion with a sticker on it that said Vidalia, so used part of that. I bought tiny cucumbers for pickling. Such a success! Thank you very much.❤

My family so enjoys refrigerator pickled anything….we do what you’ve shown and we also enjoy making and having pickled string beans and just plain pickled red onions, radishes and even eggs as well! … most things wouldn’t last long enough to make it worth our while to can them…so we always just make batches of different things and marinate them for at least a week or two! …thanks for sharing

[@oursilvermoments6028]

We love refrigerated things too! In fact while I can we still enjoy a good quick pickle. I haven't canned radishes but I really enjoy them so I may give that a try next. Cheers, Colleen

[@denisetaylor2673]

Loved your video. Just what I needed to pickle my watermellon dikon radish slices tonight. Picked enough for a jar from the garden today. Used your 1st basic brine with 1 Tbsp of wh. sugar, poured it on hot over radish slices & put the lid on. This is just like the recipe I use to refrigerate jalapeño or plobano or banana or pepperoncini peppers that I grow. Just couldn't find my recipe fast enough tonight. Now it's done & I can go to sleep. I thank you.

[@Aussieuke]

Hi Colleen, I made your bread & butter pickles, only used 1/4 teaspoon salt and they are delicious. As my husband is of Ukrainian parents he knows about pickles and thought they were very good. We visited Canada about 10 years ago, traveled from Vancouver to Calgary, and then flew to Toronto for the big Ukrainian Festival there. Beautiful country and lovely people, also LOTS of trees. Many thanks, this recipe will be made often. In case you are interested, the temperature in Queensland today is 20C, at night it gets down to 6C and I am cold. Have a wonderful day.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you for leaving this great comment! At the moment we are in the middle of a rainy cold week. The night time temperature is forecast to get down to 6 tonight and daytime up to 12. It has been raining for days, not that we are complaining about rain because it is helping with the forest fires in Canada. I'm pleased that you have tried out the pickles and it sounds like you enjoyed them. Take care, Colleen

[@denisetaylor2673]

This brine recipe should work great for dilly green beans; or brocolli,cauliflower&carrot pieces to refrigerator pickle. Thank you for your wonderful instructions & recipes.

Hi Colleen I love pickles both bread snd butter and original Dill pickles it’s become almost impossible to find original dill pickles here in the states anymore only kosher and polish except for the hamburger dill chips taste like real dill pickles to me!! Are these two pickle recipes crispy pickles ?? You’d dill pickles recipe looks like it might be original dill pickles except for the garlic in them which I can omit !! Your pickles look yummy !! Thanks Colleen I hope your doing well , God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈

[@melarky8555]

Hi Colleen, have really enjoyed the videos and have used alot of your recipes. Thank you! I have endeavoured on a search to find a pickle recipe that can replicate some of the tangyness (sic) pickles that a person comes across at the odd hamburger place, the ones you can feel in your jaw for lack of a better explanation. I have acquired all the canning supplies and tools since fall and during the winter have also picked up a fermenter if that is where a recipe leads. Just wondering if you may by chance have a recipe/process in you vast arsenal? Thank you so much from Kevin in Alberta

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Kevin Thank you for watching my videos and for your kind remarks. I can only guess at what you are talking about with the tangyness but suspect that the reaction may be because there are still companies that use alum to help keep their pickles crisp. A similar product is called pickle crisp. I don't have a big bunch of recipes for pickles but I am always open to trying a new recipe so I find them in cook books and online. Cheers, Colleen

[@jerryholston6536]

Okay I think those are great recipes I'm probably going to have to try it when I have more space now I have a couple questions how long do they have to stay in the refrigerator and can you take them out refrigerator after they been there for at least a week or do they have to stay in refrigerator all the time

[@oursilvermoments6028]

They have to stay in the refrigerator the entire time. And they keep up to 3 months. Cheers, Colleen

[@hergardendiary]

As I was watching this, I was wondering to myself that you must be Canadian (Allen's vinegar) plus you said Calgary. I used to live there! Is it Lina's Italian Market that you visit? Great video!

[@dondep]

This is a great recipe to have! I plan on using it as soon as possible because we have lots of cucumbers this year. My only question is, how long should you keep them in the refrigerator before you can actually start eating them as pickles instead of chilled cucumbers?

[@oursilvermoments6028]

2 to 3 weeks is the best amount of time.

[@philstucker1312]

Great video! How long will the dills stay good in the refrigerator? Thanks!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I'm not sure, we usually eat them up pretty quickly but some have been in there for 3 months and were still great.

[@soniaarmitage4368]

How long do the dill pickles need to refridgerate before eating and how long after opening can i keep in the fridge.? Thank you.

[@nanci6134]

looks good use bamboo chopsticks instead of knife. The knife causes micro cracking of the glass and if you were canning it over time glass jars can explode.

[@kippie461]

For the Dill recipe, is there anything else you can add instead bof the garlic ? I'm allergic to garlic. Thanks

[@stacyboyd4591]

Hello, thank you for sharing this fast and easy recipe. Would u please tell me how long they r good for in the fridge. Love from Saint John nb 🇨🇦

[@oursilvermoments6028]

[@stacyboyd4591]

[@irenedimeski7863]

Can you use dry dill?

[@mariaconsuelothomen]

Can you use regular table salt and a pinch of bicarbonate (baking soda) to avoid clouding?

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I haven't heard of doing that perhaps someone else has and can snswer. I use tablesalt for most canning and don't worry about the clouding. If I'm doing entries for rhe fair I make sure not to use table salt. Cheers, Colleen

[@Aussieuke]

Hi Colleen, I have hijacked my hubbies page to ask a question. I love bread & butter pickles but have been put on a low-salt diet, Is it possible to omit the salt in this recipe? Hello to you and yours from Australia and thank you for all your videos

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello, im sure your husband won't mind. I absolutely think you could make it without the salt. In pickling a tsp of salt is very little and I'm sure it would be fine without it. Best wishes to you and yours from the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦

[@Aussieuke]

Hi Colleen, Sorry to bother you again, but I just had a question for you. Is there anything you can do with the bread and butter pickle juice once the pickles are eaten? It seems such a waste to throw it away, many thanks from Aussieukes better half , Patricia

[@oursilvermoments6028]

No bother at all. Honestly I reuse the brine. Just add more cut cucumbers to the brine, wait a week and you are good to go again. Cheers, Colleen
