Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other spices instead of bay leaves and allspice?
Absolutely! Try mustard seeds, dill, or peppercorns to change up the flavor.

Do these pickles need to be pasteurized?
Yes, pasteurizing helps keep them fresh longer. You can also hot-pack the jars by sealing them while hot and inverting them.

Can I make a larger batch?
Of course, just increase all the ingredients for the brine as needed.

Should I refrigerate the pickles?
Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place (like a cellar). After opening, keep them in the refrigerator.

How long will these stay fresh?
Properly pasteurized pickles can last several months or longer.
