Celebrating Appalachia recommended your recipe! I love pickles but have never tried for fear of mushiness. She said they were the best! I saved your video and will try it next summer!

Love all of your shows I try to watch every one of them. Keep on showing the great recipes and all of the great wisdom.😅

It is so wonderful to see a man that can grow food, and put it up too. You are amazing son!

JUST NOW WATCHING YOUR VIDEO! I've made dill pickles and jarred them like you do. I used an old-fashioned recipe that was slightly different. If you see this comment I might compare pickle recipes. Especially one ancient recipe using "Store bought pickes" which, by the way are simply DELICIOUS!! THANK YOU From the State of Minnesota U.S.A!

Love salt pickles! I use to walk about three miles to a mans house and visit and he always gave us a salt pickle to eat on the way home. Making memories will carry you a life time and bring great joy!

First time pickling cucumbers and I’m going to use your recipe. I’m new to canning and preserving so everything is frightening until you just do it! Thanks for an easy, understandable recipe!

New subscriber here. I have heard from Tipper and Matt Pressley that your pickle canning recipe is the absolute BEST! Thanks very much for taking the time to share your knowledge. I'm looking forward to watching all your videos I haven't seen.

Justin, Put you up a cattle panel for the length of the row you plan makes them so easy to pick. I sure want to make the pickle recipe. Watch your channel all the time.

Hey my friend. That white film you see on your cucumbers is a wild yeast. It’s on other fruits too like persimmons, plums, apples, grapes so on.

I can't wait to try your pickle recipe! Tonight, I watched Tipper Pressley make them and she advised going to your channel to see you make them and I am so glad I did. I can't wait to spend some time watching your KZfaq videos about the food ways and preservation.

Thank you so much for taking your valuable time to educate us….A keeper here…

Tipper from Celebrating Appalachia sent me over and I’m so glad she did, I love learning the old ways , thanks for sharing. Sending thanks from SW Virginia

Thank you for this. Just pulled my first cucumbers from my hydroponics - perfect size. Finished the recipe and they are sitting under the towel as I write this. So excited to try them in a couple of weeks :)

Just subscribed to your channel recommended by Celebrating Appalachia! Love pickles and making them!

Happy to see someone else shares my love for pickles!

I was sent over from Celebrating Appalachia! I also sent this over to my daughter. We are so excited to do this next year! I hope they will come out as good as you make them :)

Celebrating Appalachia recommended your video for canning. I was not disappointed! Very easy to follow you! Thank you! New subscribe.

"I never take that blossom end off, I just take my vegetable brush here and.. ( O.O ) ...take that blossom end off." Hahahahaa great video brother. Blossom ends are my favorite part and I even like a little stem on there. New subscriber here from your Northern neighbor Ohio.

Tipper sent me too! Sometimes I find the thought of canning intimidating, but you gave me confidence... I can DO this! I subscribed because I need a lotta guidance.

This was an excellent video and I plan to do this in the future. I love pickles. I also like the fact you said it works with tomato soup. Looking forward to your recipe on tomato soup. I have one that I love that I make in an Instant Pot and so now I need to see how you do it. Thank you again Justin...Roger from Metcalf, GA

I like how authentic you are and all the beautiful knowledge from your mama you are careful to share so well. I appreciated this video, I'v been learning. God Bless

Thank for sharing your recipe.I’m going to have to try it.Celebrating Appalachia recommended watching how you do it.I’m glad I did.God bless

I had no idea that making pickles was so easy! I'm saving this video for sure. Thanks, Justin!

Thanks! Looking forward to trying these next year (I got the link from Tipper at Celebrating Appalachia 12.2022). She says they are the best ever! My grandmother used to make good pickles, but we don't have her recipe. I can't wait to try these...hopefully, they'll be Christmas gifts next year. (Jane in SC)

Thanks Justin,Cant wait to try this pickle recipe. Thanks also to Tipper Presley, at Celebrating Appalachian for putting me on to your channel . Sure do hope you can come up with some more great old gospel songs to sing , I've watched them all and thoroughly enjoyed them. They brought back great memories of myself growing up in the little Baptist church in the wild woods.

Great recipe & Method , Absolutely loved watching & learning your method ,,also your Great Tomato soup content , My grandma & dad taught me so much & I miss them so much , but watching you brings back wonderful memories & your Green bean picking & what a blessed meal you made , everything you made , I love when I can say everything we are eating I grew ! What a blessing GOD BLESS YOU Josette- Texas

I'm going to try your recipe. I've made the Icicle Pickles (crunchy-sweet) for years, but I've never tried to make dill pickles. I saw that Tipper Presley recommended your recipe on her "Celebrating Appalachia" channel. I would enjoy watching a conversation between the two of you - I'm thinking it would be quite entertaining. Thank you for posting this Justin!!

First time watching. I came from Tipper's channel, Celebrating Appalachia. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Blessings!

Justro this is so close to my heart to watch as I wash up morning dishes. A way I get most bang for my buck - hand pump brake bleeder and "food saver" jar sealer both wide and regular mouth size. You can air seal a jar of nuts, chocolate chips and get many uses out of the flat lids.

Tipper at Celebrating Appalachia recommended your channel. Really glad to be here

I just made 3 quarts of pickles with your recipe! Can’t wait to try them

Omg, I couldn't believe my eyes. I've never canned pickles but this method I'm doing it! Thank you, thank you thank you!!

Tipper recommended your video so I just subscribed. Your recipe looks simple this is a must try. Thank you for your recipe.

Hi Justin, thanks to Tipper Presley I found your site. I’ve watched 3 videos, the pickles, the old barn with the egg story and the black snake and last night mater soup. It was real good getting to visit with you. Looking forward to seeing your other videos and learning much. Thank you so much, Jen

I always cover my jars with a towel too, I've only ever seen one other person do it. I guess it must be something the old timers did, its the way my mom taught me and her mom taught her. Great video! I have only made pickles one time and they all turned out soft even with pickle crisp😭😭😭 i havent done them since. Definitely will try this method

Hey Justin! Coming over to visit because Tipper suggested to. Watching from Chattanooga, TN.

I would like to try those pickles since my family ate up all the salsa.

Great video and thank you for your precious time kindest regards tam 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

I’m making the dill pickles tomorrow morning for the first time. I got your information from Tippers page! I’ll let you know how they work out. I subscribed to your KZfaq page. Thank you for the pickle recipe.🥰

Learned about you from Celebrating Appalachia. Love your video.

Just watched a video over @ celebrating Appalachia and I’m here for your perfect picklin recipe 🫡

I’ve been canning for about 38 years and have never seen or heard of canning pickles like this…..I will be doing this tomorrow!!!! I’m going to subscribe because you amaze me !!!

Tipper sent me to your channel. Subscribed today. Love the pickle recipe.

You are doing a lot and thank you very much. I so wish I could live like you and some day soon I will. Ready to retire to the good life YES !

Tipper sent me over- this is how my mom made pickles back in the 1960’s! I may have to go back to the olds ways😊

Your tips are always helpful.

Tipper Pressley sent me to watch this video. I will be using this recipe. Many thanks and God bless you.

I vote you as pickle president .I'm off to make some pickles

Found your channel through Celebrating Appalachia's channel. Great looking pickles.

Justin, I tried your recipe for dill pickles and they are the best I’ve ever eaten, just like Tipper said. Do you by any chance have a recipe for sweet pickles? If you do, I’d sure like to see a video on how you do them. Love your channel, love to listen to you talk, and believe you to be a truly good person. 👍😀🙏

I had the exact same problem as Celebrating Appalachia. I had NEVER canned a good pickle. On her recommendation I canned your recipe. 3 quarts and 5 pints. I just opened the first jar and they are AMAZING. Why didn't I can more?😭 I should have listened to Tipper. Now I have to wait almost an entire year for more. Everyone in my family thinks they are good. Thanks so much!!

Tipper from Celebrating Appalachia sent me your way after talking about your dill pickle recipe. Will try it!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and keep your videos coming please.

Thanks for sharing & thank you Tipper! 😊

Great video. Can’t wait to use your method

Tipper Pressley from Celebrating Appalachia sent me! I need to try your pickle recipe! I usually make slightly sweet/spicy refrigerator pickles that last ridiculously long in the fridge but my husband’s strictly a dill pickle guy and won’t touch them. 😂 (P.S. My favorite cukes are Japanese Longs from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.)

Hi I am new at this but I just gotta comment: I LOVE your accent😂 cheers to your fabulous pickles✌️❤️

Lol on missing cucumbers! When I find a giant one, I am always amazed we missed it so long. Hubby and I both gather, but sometimes we both miss.

I just heard about you and these pickles from Tipper @ Celebrating Appalachia. I am definitely going to make these next year. This year I did not have a successful cucumber harvest and had to purchase some from local Farmers Market to pickle a few and make relish. Blessings.

We made these yesterday- Thanks for sharing the recipe! I'll let you know how they turn out. Be safe!

Looking for someone that makes it easy and quick. Thanks.

My mom taught me a similar way. The only thing we do different is after filling the jars with the liquid and putting the lid back on tight is sitting them upside down on the towel. After about 10-15 minutes I turn them all back upright. I use that method on most stuff including jams and jellies as well as pickles and tomatoes. Your plants looked healthy and green so I don’t think the issue is powdery mildew. I had an old gardener tell me to prune my cucumber plants because the leaves being too thick will shade the cucumbers too much and make them white. I took him seriously and prune. Cucumber vines sorta grow suckers like tomatoes. I also grow them on a trellis so mine get plenty of sun. I have never seen that film but I wonder if that’s the white he was referring to? I will be following the comments to see what other folks think it is. Thanks for another great video!

Thank you for the information!

I canned 16 quarts of pickled okra yesterday (08/04/23). I did 7 jars with your recipe (with a little adjustment to the spices) and technique and 9 jars using another recipe and technique which included water bath canning. One of those jars didn't seal (isn't that weird that the jar that was water bathed didn't seal), so I put it in the refrigerator. We tried it today and it was a little soggy. So, we'll let you know in about a month how your recipe and technique turned out. I have a feeling it is going to be really good. And btw, all 7 jars sealed using your method. I almost chickened out and put them in the water bath canner but refrained. I'm so glad I did. There was still warmth coming from those jars probably 18-20 hours later. I wrapped them up very well with a bath towel.

I just watched this video for the 3rd time. I plan on buying cucumbers this year from the Farmers Market & making your pickles.

Talked to my cousin the stuff on the cucumbers is powdery mildew.

Thank you for sharing. Hope to try this soon.

Great video! Thanks, fixing to get started.

Gonna try this recipe for sure! ❤

Hey Justin, Tipper sent me over. I’m hoping to make your pickles if I can get some cukes. Thanks! God bless! 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸

Tipper from Celebrating Appalachia sent me over to check out this Pickle recipe..God Bless..Subscribed..

That's so easy. I just have started the warming jars in oven for years I did old way then tried microwave awhile. This is a lot better.

If I may, I would like to explain a quick method that is used a lot here and that I am satisfied with. You can try a handful of pickles and spread it out if you find it uninteresting. I put my pickles in the sink like you, I add about a tablespoon of coarse salt per pound or more if needed and I rub the cucumbers against each other for a few minutes. Then I rinse them well. The coarse salt removes all that is to be removed on the cucumber and it comes out clean and ready to put in jar. When the cucumbers are very small, I put them on a cloth, cover them and rub them through the cloth and rinse them... this method is really fast and thanks to the coarse salt the cucumber is really well cleaned

my great grandpa was James Metcalfe from Halifax Co. VA. We may be distant cousins.

Golly those look good!

I made pickles this morning using your method. I have only made refrigerator pickles before. It will be nice to free up space in my garage fridge. Thank you for sharing.

I made your recipe and they are delicious.

Hi Justro , I just watched Mrs.Tippers video and She mentioned you & your recipe , I had emergency back surgery then caught SEPSIS but survived , so My granddaughters have been helping my husband and some got so fat & yellow, but they are still nice and hard , They should be ok ? Thank you for all you teach us all and God bless you & the Girls ❤ Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤

Nice crop of pickles! I need to pickle some

Beautiful pickles.

this is just like my grandma's pickle recipe except she also put 6-10 whole peppercorns in each jar and then after they were filled and lids on, she would turn them upside down on the towel until they sealed and then turned them right side up

My grandmother used to make salt pickles I loved them never learned how to make them

I made these pickles today, Justin. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe & method! I gave up canning pickles many years ago because they always turn out soft & even mushy. I have made refrigerator pickles for the last several years using nearly this same recipe & they are delicious! But, we don't have the fridge space to do very many. So I'm excited to try these. How soon can these be opened & eaten? I have to wait about 2 weeks to open the refrigerator ones, so I wondered if we need to wait a bit to try these. We are looking forward to trying these! Thanks again!

Thank you for sharing

I’m gonna need to try this method

Wow! That is a nice row

Celebrating Appalachia gave me the link to this video. I’m 74 and my dill pickles are always mushy. I’m looking forward to crisp dill pickles.

I just made my first dill pickles used your recipe

Hi Justin! I just made my first batch of your dill pickles. Excited to see how they turn out. I'm wondering if I could use the same recipe for pickled okra? Recon that would work?

We used to every year have a gallon of brine pickles going ,we would eat out of them and add more lol

Thanks, Justro...Do you have a recipe for sweet bread & butter pickles? I love all kinds of pickles! I'm gonna write this one down to use... Thanks for sharing your knowledge on such matters... Greatly appreciated 💝

Can't wait to try

My cucumbers have the same film.

Definitely will try this method! Thanks for sharing. We do lots of canning at our house.

Thanks for the recipe. I will be trying. My cucumbers are just starting to come on strong. Been a strange summer.

love this

That you for the pickle receipe. I will definitely try this and hope mine don't turn mushy. How long do they sit before they are ready

I like your recipe. I long do you wait till you eat them

Did you ever hear of the spiced mock apple pickles made with too big,or ripe cucumbers? They're very good, and really pretty, and taste like spiced apple rings!! They're easy, some call them cinnamon candy picles. You use a pkg of red hots, and can't remember what else. You peel and cut seeds out of cucumber,cut in chunks. P.S. you're a good "pickle packer"!! Fill the jars nicely!!

Great video, I missed the time to wait before eating when done processing the cucumbers. I'm guessing about three days? Then opened in the frig, three months to stay fresh?
