[QUOTE="catman529, post: 2343673, member: 9284"] The old timers have said (from what I have read online) that they never used to even do a water bath. Now a water bath is highly recommended by the FDA to remove risk of botulism, but considering the acidity of the brine and the fact that it's already near boiling when you seal the jar, you are probably safe without even a water bath. But don't take my words for it, I'm sure there has been that one incidence where someone got sick from pickles that weren't put in a water bath... For the fridge, obviously no bath is needed, just pour the brine over and let it sit in the fridge for a few days. Last year I canned a bunch of pickles from homegrown cukes and there's still a jar left over now. A water bath for 10 min is all you need to be on the "safe" side. I don't even have a pressure cooker. [/QUOTE]
