My Company Best Pickles went hollow this year. Any ideas? Thanks.

What about the 4th day?

4th day? day 1 cover like it says , next 3 days do the same days 2-3-4. where is the question

anonymous

Sometimes they go hollow; it depends on the cucumbers. They still taste great.

anonymous

On 3rd day,when you bring them to a boil and seal in hot jars,should you keep the cucumbers boiling until the last jar is canned?

Do you cover after putting boiling water over them?

happyzhangbo

Yes, the jars need to be covered.

My cucs went soft and spongy after sitting in the hot brine before going into jars ?.
Very disappointing!

I put my pickles in the jars and boiled the brine separately. Then when the brine boiled I poured them over the pickles and placed the jars in the boiling water for 10 minutes to seal them. Feel free to eat them before you can them as they are really good.
