It's hard to find the big crocks now a days...In this area I think everyone's grandparents made these...But like a lot of things this tradition has fallen to the wayside #-oBig Mike said:You read my mind, I was wondering what Crock Pickles were. Thanks.

Probably but make sure it is food grade plastic...Those cukes sit in it for about a week...Big Mike said:Could you just use a 5 gallon bucket? I'm gonna have a ton of cukes out of the garden.

I only have a 5 gallon crock, some day when i grow up I will have a big crock too!!
I will just have to cut the batch in half......

We do can some of them when they are done...As far as when the pickles are ready you need to test them after a couple of days...depending on the size of the pickles and other variables.....We do can some of the pickles when they are done....We mix up a fresh batch of brine and put a fresh sprig of dill in along with the a piece of garlic....They will keep for a decent lenght of time if you don't can them.....I don't know how long becuase the ones we make tend not to stick around very long....the ones we made last year and canned were still crispy as of yesterday..We ate the last jar for last year yesterday..Hope I answered your question.Shawn White said:do you can these when they are done? if not how long do they keep?
Shawn White said:yup that did it thanks ...
my family used to make pickles every year but crammed the jars full of cukes and stuff, filled with hot brine then canned them ... I'm gonna have to try a small batch of these crock dills
thanks for the recipe
