between 10 to 15 minutes. No longer or they get soft. imo anyway.

Took 4 hours from the time the pickles got home to finish. That doesn't include my time yesterday cleaning onions and garlic

So you said one casualty.  What happened to that jar that you said you over packed?  I have had a few softer jars now and then.  Maybe a couple out of 35-40 and I have always wondered why.  Mayhaps I cooked them too long or packed them too full.  We go 20 minutes.

Just packed the jar with to much stuff, mainly pickles. I don't know if I or my wife packed that one but I did catch her pushing the pickles to hard. You need to take into account that it expands when it's hot bathed

From my experience the longer you hot bath them the softer the pickles get. This isa just my philosophy, you hot bath it to seal the lid and to activate so to speak thee dill, garlic and onions.

I mayu add more vinegar than it calls for but not much more. Don't know if the pickling salt does anything but I stay the course with that.

If you are putting in garlic, they are Kosher. No garlic, then just regular dill pickles.

I like The garlic in.

Mommas family has always been huge with the sun pickles.  Three days in the sun then refrigerate.  Pretty simple, 1 cup cider vinegar to 6 cups water, dill, garlic and canning salt. I thought she was nuts when she first started doing this,  but they are tasty.

Dill pickles are different than Bread and butter. Bread and butter has quite a bit of sugar added to them.

I also always add pickling spices to my pickles.

yea they do. i make what i call a frig pickle. its 7 cups of sliced cukes, 1 cup sliced onions.
then put in some salt and let set for about 3 hours.
the brine is 2 cups sugar and 1 cup vinegar and dill seed. heat to disolve the sugar then pour over cukes and put in the frig. its good but pretty sweet.

Another way I really like cukes, is slicing them and onions, I don't measure though.  Do the same with the salt. Rinse really good. Then add half and half. Add some sugar and vinegar to taste. The more sugar the sweeter it is, the more vinegar, more tart and I like it on the tart side so I don't add a lot of sugar, and I mean like maybe a tablespoon is all.

I got a bread and butter recipe somewhere, I'll look for it this afternoon.

I like making a marinaded salad with my extra cukes. It has red onion and Roma tomatoes.
