Pickle Recipes:

Here is the recipe I used for the ⁠Dill Pickles⁠. I particularly enjoyed putting in flowering dill heads into my brine as my plant is at this stage - it gave it such a mellow dill flavor.

Here is the recipe I followed for the ⁠Bread and Butter Pickles⁠ (minus cloves, as I don’t like cloves and I went 1/3 less on the sugar).
