Other sources suggest that shrunken pickles may be a result of other things including a brine that is too strong, not using fresh cucumbers or cucumbers that are from fields that have not been watered well.

Homemade pickles are the ideal foil to fatty, salty cookout food—but they're not necessarily the easiest thing to make. Check out these common mistakes to avoid when making these salty, vinegary, crunchy delights shared by Bonappetit.com.
