We like to can. Truth is, we canned pickles a few years ago. Tons of them. And we didn’t eat them all. How many jars of pickles does your family go through? Ours goes through 2, maybe 3. Not 30 pints. This year we decided to can refrigerator dill pickles for the simple reason. We can do them as we need them and can buy the cucumbers at the store as needed or from the local farmers market.
