Brian, Thank you for your comment, and I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe! When I mention avoiding genetically modified (GM) corn, it’s because most of my readers prefer to stick with organic or non-GMO products. That said, it’s completely up to you and your comfort level!

Nancy, Thank you so much for your kind words, and I’m so glad the detailed advice helped you get those perfect seals this time—great job! 😊
It’s not uncommon for yields to vary, especially when it comes to pickling vegetables like cucumbers. The size, shape, and how tightly they’re packed into the jars can all affect how much brine is needed. It’s a good idea to have a little extra brine on hand just in case. You can scale up the brine recipe by a small amount to ensure everything is covered in future batches. I’m thrilled to hear that your pickles turned out well! Thank you for the lovely feedback!

FYI, I used regular cucumbers from my neighbours garden, not pickling cucumbers, but I weighed them to equal 3 pounds, which were 4 medium cukes. I ended up being short about 1/2 cup of brine. It might be just me, but just a heads up to maybe make a little more brine to cover the last jar (it made 4 3/4 pint-sized jars).

Kim, Yes, it is safe to double this recipe for canning.
