Boil until color begins to change, this does not take but maybe 5 to 10 minutes.

I was worried this thread would have to move to "Dirty" laundry. Good recipe, Mom used to make sweet pickles where she soaked the cukes in lime water overnight then boiled them in the syrup. She hasn't made any of those in 30 years or so. I think I kind of miss them. | ||

I have canned cukes for many years, never ever cooked them.Seems like that would make them soft and mushy. How did they turn out? | ||

The type of lid that Hans uses is a wide mouth lid, and is very readily available wherever canning supplies are sold. Ball brand lids are also sold here in the US. | ||

 Kerr was the first to make the lids as they are today back in 1903. Kerr, Ball and Golden Harvest jars, lids and rings are all now owned by Jarden Corp. Have plants all oer the United States. Jarden also is the owner of Sunbeam and Coleman now.

Darned if I know, but I do know that cream of tartar is made from grape leaves,But Grape Leaf Pickles are made in the South fairly often, the reason I used this recipe is it was quick and easy, normally I make Bread and Butter pickles or Icicle Pickles. | ||

The grape leaves have something in them that kills the enzymes that cause the pickles to be soft. Sothey they stay crisp with the grape leaves being aded. Isn't Mother Nature great!!
Taken of a Q&A on pickles
Q I have an old recipe that calls for adding a grape leaf to each jar of pickles. Why? | ||
