Nothing to add other than I like pickles. Pickled okra. Pickled cauliflower. Pickled about anything. Dill. Sweet. Hot. Bread and butter. All of it.
Klaussen dill pickles are the best store bought. Any recipe close to them would be a winner. Yup!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wife always makes both sweet and dill pickles, and has made the bread and butter ones too. She also makes pickled beets. That's all I care for pickled. I've tried okra, and just don't care for it pickled, although I love it fried.
We were at a softball game the other day, and one of the players parents had brought a jar of homemade pickled bologna. I ate a piece and it was good. Wife got the recipe, and the stuff to make it with, but hasn't made any so far.

Edwin264 what is your recipe? I use: 1 cup of water 1 cup of 5% vinegar 2 tablespoons of canning salt. -Make up enough of this mixture to pour over your pickles. -Bring the mixture to a boil. -In clean sterilized quart jars, add 2-3 cloves of garlic, dill, and pack clean cucumbers into the jars. -(Optional) Add 1/2 teaspoon of mustard seed to each jar. -Pour the boiling brine over the cucumbers. Be sure to leave 1/2” headspace in each jar. -Cap each jar with a sterilized lid and band. -Boil the entire sealed jar in water for 10 minutes. -Remove after 10 minutes and let cool. Date the jar lids with a marker. Let them sit for at least 6 weeks. Get them cold and eat the heck out of them. I always boil the brine in the house as well as my lids. I boil the empty jars to sterilize them outside on the porch in a hot water bath canner on a fish cooker. I also boil the packed jars outside on the porch. I let them cool on a towel spread on a table out there. I try to keep as much heat out of the house as possible. Also be sure to use a rack in the canner to keep the jars off the bottom.

These look pretty good and easy! https://www.foodiewithfamily.com/homemade-claussen-knock-off-pickles/Homemade Claussen Knock-Off Pickles Always crunchy and garlicky, this perfect homemade pickle requires no special equipment, no canning experience, and tastes just like Claussen's refrigerated kosher dill pickles. Course Appetizer, Side Dish Cuisine American, Pub, Snack Prep Time 20 minutes Cook Time 2 days Total Time 2 days 20 minutes Servings 80 pickles Calories 19 kcal Author Rebecca Lindamood Ingredients 35 to 40 small to medium pickling cucumbers 1 gallon cold water 1 cup cider vinegar, preferably raw 2 tablespoons mixed pickling spices 2/3 c. coarse canning or kosher salt Do NOT fine or use iodized salt! 4 cloves garlic or more to taste 4 fresh dill heads ~or~ 4 tablespoons dried dill seed not weed! Instructions Wash cucumbers but do not scrub them. Trim 1/8-inch from the blossom end of each cucumber and slice in half lengthwise or into quarters, depending on how large your cucumbers are and how big you want them to be when they're done. In a gallon jar (or large, wide-mouth, food-safe container) layer the dill heads or seed, garlic cloves and sliced cucumbers. In a separate pitcher or bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients until the salt is dissolved. Pour the brine over the cucumbers, taking care to make sure all of them are fully submerged. If needed, place a plate or mug or other non-reactive heavy item on the cucumbers to weigh them down and keep them under the brine! Cover lightly with a lid just perched on top or secure a piece of cheesecloth over the jar with a rubber band to keep fruit flies away. Leave out of direct sunlight on the counter for two to four days*, or until the cucumbers taste like pickles throughout. Fix your lid onto your jar or container and chill. These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to six months provided you keep them covered with brine. *If at any point in the proceedings "fuzz" or "foam" develops on top of the brine, use a spoon to remove it. If there is "fuzz" attached to any of the cucumbers, remove the ones affected and be sure the others are still fully submerged. Recipe Notes *If at any point in the proceedings "fuzz" or "foam" develops on top of the brine, use a spoon to remove it. If there is "fuzz" attached to any of the cucumbers, remove the ones affected and be sure the others are still fully submerged.

For a klaussen cold pack recipe, you can start with this, change spices to taste.
4 pounds halved cucumbers 8 large dill heads 6 garlic cloves quartered 8 cups filtered pure water 2 cups vinegar (white), cider vinegar can be used but the pickles get dark. 1/2 cup pickling salt, no iodine 4 TBS pickling spices or more to taste optional 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or a whole hot pepper
Heat water, vinegar, salt, an spices to near boil. Cool liquid to room temp, ( I usually leave the broth to cool overnight) add cooled liquid, garlic, dill, cukes in a container, and refrigerate for at least 7 days, probably 10/12 is better. These will last in the fridge for a few months, but they will be eaten before that. You can also add halved green tomatoes. These are pretty addicting. I usually "can" these in cheap tupper wear containers from walmart. Super easy to make.
I make these, and the fermented version, I don't can any pickles. Just in snap-lid containers like for leftovers?

You can also add bay leave to help maintain the crispness if the pickling spice does not contain them. I think they call these cold pack. Great not to heat up the kitchen in August.

10-4.
I’ll need a report.
I’ve struck out I’ve over the years trying pickles and okra. Good vinegar taste. But soft. Not the vlasic crunch.
Side note. My auntie makes the old fashion bread and butter sweet pickles. Kind you put the plate over the 5 gal bucket. Off the chain...

Jim, not to derail this pickle discussion but I was in Great Falls yesterday and saw a road sign to Havre. If you felt a great disturbance in the force, that was me. Nothing to do with pickles...

All of those recipes sound good, but being impatient with recipes like I am I use Mrs.Wage's mixes. I also have some that stuff made for crisping up your pickles and it works good. I have been canning for three years now and not one person has figured out that I am not using some mix that my Mother or Grandmother used. Mrs. Wage's Bread and Butter mix is real good if you like them sweet! Jim, my mom and grandma always used about the same amount of dill you pictured! If I were you, I would sneak a taste before 6 weeks like they say! Just use them like refrigerator pickles.

I opened a jar for lunch.
I was very pleased!
Crunchy too.
They are kind of a Kosher style with garlic and mustard seed. Used the Ball Kosher style recipe....minus the hot pepper....and less than the recommended amount of dill.
Daniel boy liked them enough to have three.

Vacuum seal them and they are ready to eat in 4-6 days. Foodsaver vacuum canisters or that lid rig they sell for regular wide mouth mason jars. I'm too impatient to wait for good pickles. Cucumbers exploded this year in the garden. I put up 20 jars.
