I need help!! I’ve made so many pickles the last few days, however, one jar I opened to test… wasn’t crunchy! 😫 So, I’m experimenting, but need advice. What do you use to make your pickles crunchy when water bath canning?!? In my last canning I did 3 jars with a fresh grape leaf and in the other jars I used Ball’s pickle crisp. Any advice is appreciated, this is my first year making pickles.
The pickles I put in the fridge are yummy and crunchy. But the pickles I water bath canned are mushy. Looking for experienced water bath canners that can give me any tips and advice! Thank you!! 💚
