My answer is no. I've canned for years and tried every recipe under the sun. I don't think any really taste like most store bought brands. Now, there are a couple store canned varieties that taste like home-canned. Mrs Wages has a few mixes out that are the closest I could find that taste like the store ones. It really doesn't bother me, I just like pickles, and home canning them gives me lots of variety. My son is pickier and won't eat the home-canned ones. Hope you find one that works for you.
