Edit: Here’s the recipe. I couldn’t find a recipe that didn’t use already-made dill pickles, so I combined several recipes instead. I used the National Center for Home Food Preservation’s vinegar solution ratios for sweet pickles to make sure the pH was safe. Then I used a combo of spices from a sweet dill recipe and a sweet horseradish recipe.
My dill plants didn’t do well this year, so I used dried. It’s important to note, I’ve never made this recipe before and since I just canned yesterday I don’t know yet whether it’s good.
Makes 4-5 pint jars
- 4 lbs cucumbers
- 1.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 3.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup canning salt
- In each clean, sterilized jar add:
- 0.75 tsp mustard seed
- 1 Tbsp dill weed
- 1.5 tsp prepared horseradish Cut off a little of the blossom end. Slice and put in hot vinegar solution. When cucumbers are heated through, pack in jars. Add vinegar solution, leaving a 1/2” headspace. Water bath can for 10 minutes.
Ooh, I like horseradish and I love pickles. What’s the trick?
I added the recipe to my post. My parents bought a couple jars from a home canned booth a few years ago and ever since I’ve been trying to find a recipe. I finally decided just to put together a recipe myself
Thanks, Bud!
I will soon be harvesting a lot of horseradish and have been harvesting cakes all summer. Give me a recipe
I added the recipe to my post. I’ve never made it before and had to combine several recipes because I couldn’t find one that was sweet and dill and horseradish (even though I’ve bought home canned sweet horseradish dill pickles before). Also I used prepared horseradish instead of fresh grated, so you’d need to change the amount
I appreciate the followup. That sounds freaking delicious!!
These look amazing! Good cucumbers to amazing pickles
Thanks! It’s a Mikey (my grandma’s word meaning untested recipe) so fingers crossed it turns out like I’m wanting it to
