mom11 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 HI! I have 4 gallons of pickles, sitting in the vinegery stuff. I soaked them in the lime and water all night. Then I rinsed them and soaked them in the ice water. I boiled the pickley stuff and the cucumbers are supposed to stay in that 5-6 hours or overnight. I am worn out! Too worn out to process about 50 pints of pickles tonight, unless I have to. The pickles will be in the pickley stuff, 5 hours at 8:30 pm, one hour from now. Could they just stay in that stuff, until tomorrow morning and then be processed or will they be wrecked?? I am supposed to boil the pickley stuff, with the cucumbers next, then water bath. HELP!!!

Dee Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Oh yeah mom11, I've been where you are with lime pickles. They take so long to make and it's just downright right tough to not end up spending until 11 or 12 at night with them. You'll be so glad tomorrow, though, when you wake up and it's done. They'll also taste sooooo crisp and good this winter. Link to comment
mom11 Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 They're done...Dang things!!!! They're popping away! I got 30 pints....Thought I would get more, but never made 4 gallons at one time before! Tonight...I am so glad there were only 30 pints!!!!! Whewwww!!! I did 60 lbs. of tomatoes today and froze them, ready to can for spaghetti sauce...But NOT tonight! Link to comment
