Canning Grandmas Sweet Pickles recipe has begun! Check back next week for next steps - First step process is here: 1. Rinse your cucumbers clean ( about 8-10 lbs ) 2. Begin heating brine (16 cups water with 2 cups pickling salt). Heat through but NOT to boiling. You can add an egg to the brine to check salinity. If it floats, you have enough salt 3. While the brine heats, pack cucumbers into large ball jars. Fill with hot brine to the brim and set aside for 1 week. Be sure the cucumbers are full
