Quick & Easy Home Canned Pickles

Quick & Easy Home Canned Pickles with Mrs Wages

My kids love cucumbers, and we eat a lot of pickles in this house. This year, we had an abundance of cucumbers from Grandaddy's garden, so we had to get busy and can up as many pickles as possible before the season ended. There are many ways to make home-canned pickles, and one of the easiest I've found so far was to use Mrs. Wages Pickling Mix.

After harvesting the cucumbers, we washed them thoroughly, which went by so much faster with my handsome helper.

Next, we cut and sliced the cucumbers to fit the jars. In this batch, I made spears and halves. For our second batch, we made crinkled pickle chips and slices.

We filled the jars with cucumbers making sure they all fit the size of our jars to allow for appropriate headspace when filling with brine and the canning process. The next step is to prepare the brine according to the package directions and then to fill the jars with the hot brine.
