Many years ago I tried pickling some kirbies. They were ok, but not as good as store bought. What's the secret? I see you didn't use any vinegar. Do you pasturize after jaring? Or is the hot brine enough to preserve?
There was vinegar and the normal briney things. The photo was of only the added spices/flavorings for this batch. These are refrigerator style which means they aren't really canned to last over time. You have to keep them in the fridge and use them within a short time- months. The acidity should keep them safe.
Hot dog and jelly sandwiches? On the same bread? What flavor jelly? Any mustard mixed in? I could see a combo of grape and mustard tasting like a dipping sauce. Not to say I would eat it.
Just grape jelly. The hot-dogs have to be cold. You split them down the middle and then lay the flat sides down on the breat side by side. It takes two dogs split into four halves to fill a slice of bread. Yummy!

Yep, nothing like crunch pickles. They have to be crisp and crunchy. Yours look great! Happy Fourth!
Happy Fourth to you too!

Umm...sorry, but I'll stick to my hot-dog & jelly sandwhiches. A dog beats a dill any day!

My cucumbers are just getting their blossoms. I can hardly wait! Those look wonderful.
