Mom's Best Sweet Gherkin Recipe | Canning Sweet Pickles 

I read this recipe in my Ball canning book today and said no way.... lol but after watching your video my little cucumbers i have left from 1/2 bushel (I used 16 pounds of them to make dill pickles) - will get started on this recipe. We have canned dill pickles and bread and butter pickles in years past but not gherkins. Thank you.

What a great tutorial on sweet gerkins! I typically do bread and butter pickles ! I’m definitely going to put this in my canning rotation! New subscriber today! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this, Victoria! What a treat to do it with your mom!

so excited to do this and have GHERKINS! I don't care for bread and butters, looked for an old fashioned gherkin recipe and appreciate this concise report. TFS!

I have a constant craving for sweet pickles and have wondered what it would take... I watched this whole video and it is definitely do-able! Many Thanks.

Those look amazing! I’m definitely going to try this recipe.thank you 😊

excelent work and my warm regards to your mum!

Great video, thank so much for the recipe.

I’ll try your recipe this year thank you

I'm very new to this and after having a couple of hars of homemade pickles, one being sweet and the other being butter, I decided that I'd really love to learn how to do this. Watching your video has definitely inspired me to see that I can do it!!! I'll be trying your mom's recipe first ❤❤❤

I’m not a fan of gherkins, prefering dill. But I decided to grow some and I used your recipe to make a batch for my husband. They are delicious! He loves them. I’m making another batch when I get more pickle cucumbers.

Technique looks great, ladies. We'll try and replicate in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. God bless 🙏

New subscriber here. Thank you for doing this video. And making a printable. That’s awesome!

I've confused myself. The video says to put boiling water over the cucumbers twice on day 1 and then again on the morning of day two. However, the instructions say to start day one in the afternoon, pour boiled water and leave overnight, then pour more boiling water in the morning on day two. So, am I pouring boiling water twice or three times before I start adding salt and other ingredients? I'm concerned that they'll get mushy if I put them in boiling water too many times! 😂 Thanks for the video, though. It definitely made this process seem a lot less daunting. Yesterday, I told my husband I was in over my head. Now i feel more confident and excited. Well, except for the boiling water bit! 😉

Oh my Victoria, your mama is as precious as you are. And your boy has shot up like a weed!!! Time flys... great video girls.

Great job. My wife is at me to make her some sweet gherkins. I am going to have to try to find some to buy as my garden didn't produce sufficient cucumbers for this. Thanks for the guide!

I make your sweet gherkins. OMG. My husband loved them. Thank you for sharing.

Love your video. You look extra pretty in the discus color blouse!

The thing I have about cutting the ends off. I did that last time I made dill pickles and all the pickles were soft and mushy. So I am not going to do that again. But I love sweet gherkin definitely going to try this one.

Hi Wondering if these are crisp after canning? I found the low temp process for my dill pickles and they came out great! After years of mushy pickles I had given up. Looks like great recipe! Can't wait to try it!

Love sweet pickles. Brand new to canning, are these close to the same taste as store bought?

I would love to try these. They seem amazing, and having the longer ones seem perfect, because I can never eat just 1 or 2 of those little pickles you always need more than that. LOL. I was wodering should I really use a large cinnamon stick or is there a way to cut them Smaller? Cuz what could I do with the cinnamon stick after it was used in the pickles. It is expensive just to throw it away I think. And the left over cinnamon stick might taste vinagary. Or would you grind up (how much) some and put it in that way and hope the brine isn't to cinnamony tasting. LOL Just trying to save some cost and not waste food. But I really would like to make them.. Apparently you don't add any pickling crisp to it for added crunch because they turn out crispy and cruchy without it ? Sorry I am totally new at this. Your advice and help would really help me out and less anxious thank you very much for all you do to help us learn from you . 🎉🎉🎉😊😊

Hi Victoria, I just finished canning my sweet pickles! How long do I have to wait to try them?

What’s the purpose for the batched hot water?

Hi. May I ask…is there a difference between this brine and a bread and butter pickle brine, and if so, could you share what it is? Thank you.

You didn’t say the amounts of the spices and stuff at the beginning. Also. Just wondering how long they need to sit in the jars before they can be eaten. Thanks.

I don’t have my crock, could I use the big Ball water bath canner pot?

So, I misunderstood what I was seeing and actually boiled the cucumbers for about 5-10 minutes before I realized my mistakes. Will that be an issue?

Was only able to get 4-5 lbs cukes.. Just wondering if this recipe can be halved without too much fuss?? I mean would just using half of everything be the thing to do?

So do you get small cukes or is there actually a gerkin cuke? I'm just starting so kinda lost!

can you use sliced cucs for this recipe or maybe spears?

Maybe I missed it but how much vinegar, sugar, turmeric and pickling spices at the beginning?

What are the measurements? 2 cups vinegar and two cups sugar each time you add to it?

New subscriber here 👋 can you tell me what size of crock you are using?

I’ll be starting on day3 tomorrow. You didn’t say how much of each ingredient you used to start juice

No alum to retain crunchiness? Are these crunchy?

The step where you prick them and then in sweet brine, the next day the pickles are all limp… 3rd time following the recipe and 3rd time i have to trow out. What am i doing wrong?! 🤦🏻‍♀️☹️

You don’t give measurements of the brine like how much you use to make it

No offense too long of a video shorten it up

When you tell people how to make something tell them how much ingredients to add, thank you for the information but it didn’t do me any good to watch this.

This is a cucumber jam..soo much sugar incredible..I bet you have diabetes …
