[QUOTE="Wetaline, post: 317668, member: 7035"] It has Happened Again! The cucumbers I've canned this last year have failed again. Seems like all of the pickles from this fall are soft and mushy. They smell great until you try to grab one out of the jar and your fingers press right through them. This has happened about three years in a row now. About every 5th jar is soft and every 10th jar is good and crisp, with all others being mush. This last fall I marked different jars with the following labels, (I live on the outskirts of Bismarck) rural water, rural water/boiled, distilled water, city water, two tbsp vinegar, one tbsp of vinegar, and results are the same. Only other things I add are dill, garlic and salt. Used to nail this every year, just like grandma used to make them, but not any more. Any input would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
