4|1|How do you keep them crisp?|brainyblonde|brainyblonde410@gmail.com|06:02:29|06/15/2011|
My last batch of pickles was a bust! Tasted fine, but they were limp!
Debbie 5|1|I soaked mine in ice/salt to make crisp|LindaOh|Martinl3@roadrunner.com|10:20:25|06/15/2011|
it called for 8 hrs I think but I did them overnight in my crisper in the frig, how I did it was buy a bag of crushed ice and layer the cukes with ice then sprinkle salt over that then another layer, I put the onions, peppers and garlic in a big bowl with a lid with ice & salt so as not to stink up the frig, drain the water the next day or when ever you get ready to make them Linda
