You turn your jars upside down, too. So do I, but I can't find any reason WHY it should be done that way!

Ruby,
I'm glad you got a tricked out kit. I haven't eaten a whole lot of pickled green tomatoes but I say, if you've got 'em, pickle 'em..the ones you don't FRY of course!

Hey Jason,
Thanks for the dill seed tip- I will definitely try that next time!
These are indeed refrigerator pickles. All my jars are quickly leaving my pantry shelf and heading to my fridge (and mouth) and to those of friends!
60 pounds!!!!!! WOW!

Those look extra delicious.

Hey, on a bright note, I found a canning set at a horrible awful big box store for an incredible deal. Like, 18 bucks for the 21.5 quart pot with rack, and 6 bucks for the toolkit with jar tongs, lid lifter, funnel, other doohickeys. So I'm not pouting about losing my winnings. Much.

Hope you had a great vacation! Oh, what are your thoughts on pickling green tomatoes? Those silly bastards just won't turn red...

After reading a lot on your blog I would suggest that you look into adding some dill seed to your recipe for more of a dill kick 1/2 tsp per quart should do the trick. I am curious where you obtained your recipe as it sounds like a refrigerator recipe, although I would think it highly unlikely for botulism spores to survive in a high vinegar ratio, you might want to refrig those cukes after a few weeks in your pantry to be on the safe side. Oh yeah I joined your facebook group, and I've done 60 pounds of pickles, in various forms, this year already.
