Cut those blossom ends off your pickling cucumbers

When you’re pickling cucumbers, you must cut off the blossom ends. It’s easy to tell which is the blossom end if you’re harvesting cucumbers from your own garden. You can see the stem and you’ll know that the blossom was on the opposite side of the fruit. If you buy cucumbers from the store they probably won’t have any stems.

Hi,
I appreciate all the videos you guys make and how clear and useful they are! I did want to tell you that I followed the dill pickle recipe and the pickles came out very soggy. After consulting several other recipes, I believe the time you say to cook them (30 minutes) is WAY too long. The spices were very good, though, so we are going to try a 5 minute cooking time on our next batch and hopefully the pickles will be crisp.
