There is coriander in the picture but not in the recipe. I have never used coriander but I don’t want to get it wrong if I don’t use it.

Well this is my first try at homemade pickles there are 4 jars sitting on my countertop looking so good. I guess I’ll start the taste testing on day 2….

My mouth is all puckered up just reading this post!!! I have to try it out for sure! The reason you can’t use iodized salt, is because the iodine contained in it causes a chemical reaction with the vinegar which is just plain YUCKY! You want to eat pickles, and not be pickled for life!!!!

this looks great and easy…i’m not much for canning so what a nice alternative…BUT Questions please: why is it important that your salt NOT be iodized? Thanks!

i make pickles quite similiar, except we don’t like the dill so i leave that out. you are SOOO right, they taste better than any of the store bought or the fancy farmer’s market ones!

I have been making my own pickles for a while now and I can’t stress how easy it is to make them!!

Green beans, green cherry tomatoes, sweet sliced pickles, and dill. Wonderful!!

I add hot pepper to some of the dills (either red pepper flakes, or even a jalapeno), and have played around with some of the spices (cinnamon stick) etc. As long as you get the water/vinegar/salt correct ( as in the recipe ) you can make any kind of pickle you want!

Just wondering- can I use this recipe to make dilly beans (pickled green beans) or is it only good for cucumbers? I have been hankering for some dilly beans, but never have the time for the whole canning process. Here’s to hoping I can do it “fridge style”
