Wendie says
It really depends on how large your cucumbers are. But using kirby cucumbers I get two 32 ounces jars out of it.
Lisa says
How many jars does this recipe make?
Wendie says
Ive never tried leaving them whole. Maybe just slice in half. Hope this helps Sara 🙂
Sara says
I cannot wait to make these! Yumm! Can I leave the Kirby cucumbers while if they are midgets or do they need to be sliced?
Wendie says
Just let it cool down about 10 minutes before putting it in glass container.

Cool the liquid to what temp, before putting in jars.
