I double it and make many batches.

Hi Celine ~
ReplyDeleteI hope you do make these and love them as much as we do. Here is the site I found for the metric conversions.

Hello again Celine ~
ReplyDeleteYou are not bothering me, I just wish I could be of more help to you.
Because I make pickles in a larger quantity than this recipe calls for, I am not sure exactly how many cucumbers to a quart, but I would say at least 6-8 medium sized cucumbers (sliced)per jar. A medium sized cucumber would be about 5 inches long. Again, I don't know the metric conversion, sorry. I would think if you got 24 cucumbers, you would have a sufficient amount for three quarts or jars of pickles. (I do mine in pints which will only confuse you more!)
When making my pickles, I go to a farm stand that sells them by the 100 count. I buy 300 medium sized cucumbers and that makes many jars of several different types of pickles ~ we like dill and sweet hots. My dear Mother-in-law writes all purchases and quantities down. For her 300 cucumbers, she made 38 quarts of dill pickles, and 19 quarts of sweet hots.
I do hope this helps you.
Again, let me know how they turn out.
Blessings!
