I read that a possible cause of garlic turning blue is naturally occurring pigments in the garlic reacted with the vinegar, or the garlic wasn’t cured properly after harvest.

These are really good. All the jars turn out a little different because of the amount of each “spice” added.

you don’t have to boil them in the jar to preserve them? I’ve never done pickles without have to do the water bath for 15 min or so…I’m intrigued and want to give this a try!!

Angela – I use regular iodized salt with great results. I love these pickles!

Angela – I use kosher salt, but iodized is fine too. I’ve never used canning salt.

Hi Lauren – I’m not sure what happened to make your garlic turn blue. I’ve never had that happen before. It is probably just the dill infusing with the garlic. Typically the water in the jar will turn a light shade of green. Check back in a few days and see how the garlic looks then.

I just finished sealing my jars and when I looked them over after the seals popped I noticed that the garlic in the jars had turned blue. Yes, blue. Why? I’m dumbfounded!

Is this just regular iodized salt or does it need to be canning/pickling salt? I’m a newbie to preserving but I def want to try this.

These are delicious! It’s hard for me to eat “grocery store” pickles anymore.

I haven’t made these, but I’ve tasted them, and they are delicious! (My friend submitted this recipe). They are very “dilly”, and have a little kick from the jalapenos. yum yum yum – You must try if you are a dill pickle fan.
