  1. I miss my grandmothers homemade dill pickles☹Great recipe👍🏻I will try this for sure😃ROCK ON!!!!!!!🤘🏻🤙🏻✌🏻

  2. Most relaxing pickle video I've seen yet. Blinda likes pickles, so when our cucumbers start making, I will have to remember this recipe. Thanks for sharing.

  3. Great tip about saving the extra brine for when you take a pickle out of a jar. Seems like common sense but it certainly is a great tip

  4. Very nice! The slices on top to keep the wedges under the wetness! Still scratching my head over the channel name change!?

  5. This was so easy on the eye to watch. I recall preserving pickles/gherkins when the children were young. Hundreds of jars. This portion would suit me more now. Great recipe. Will try it. 💖 👍 🇳🇿 🙋‍♀️ 🇳🇱

  6. Going to try this recipe later today. What is the purpose of washing with water and vinegar?
