I did think of smoking the pickles in the jar, but wanting the smoke flavor throughout the pickle. I thought the smoke flavor would migrate faster if they were in a liquid, could be wrong. Thanks for the input. I will smoke both next time and see what happens.If you wanted smoked pickles but don't can your own. What if you drained all the liquid from the pickles (reserve it) Then introduce the smoke to the pickles in the jar. Let sit then reintroduce the pickle juice. I suppose you could smoke the juice too.
