When my grandma passed away and we were clearing out the basement she had a lot of canned fruit and pickles. In the back of the shelf was 4 quart jars of dill pickles that my mother gave her 12 years before. Yes 12 years!! They looked like they were just put there. Sooooo we opened one expecting them to be no good but surprisingly it smelled fine snd my husband dared me to taste one. I tolk out a pickle and it felt firm and smelled fine. I took a bite thinking I would spit it out at the first sign that anything was not right. It was crunchy and tasted like a normal dill pickle. All for jars were fine snd my family ate them all. A nice surprise that ment a lot!

My Ma canned pickles when I was a kid. Dill, sweet and bread and butter. I had no use for the second two ah but her dill were the best I have ever had. She used 2 quart jars, she didn't cut the pickles down and when you opened the jar you first had to pull out an enormous amount of dill weed. The snap on those pickles. We would sneak down to the root cellar and grab a jar every time she went out with her friends. Eat it while watching tv. One of the best memories of my childhood.

I discovered this low temperature method three years ago. I did it first on the stovetop with a thermometer, but that was a pain in the neck, constantly having to to tweak the gas. Two years ago I tried using an Anova sous vide immersion heater in a modified ice chest (so the Anova doesn't have to work as hard to keep up the temperature). I can set the temperature at 180F and it holds that temperature within a couple of tenths either way. The pickles come out great! I used the same method to make dilly beans and they are super crunchy and taste wonderful.

I tried the recipe myself a few weeks ago and it’s very good. But first comes first: I don’t recommend to brine the cucumbers for up to 7 days! Mine started to ferment after 5 days and I had some clouds/foam on the surface - the one you know from fermenting. I guess it’s yeast or something. So better aim for 3-4 days brining. For the canning I added some coriander seeds, black pepper corns, juniper berries and cloves and cut the cucumbers into planks - our favorite for sandwiches. I tried them first after 3 days and wasn’t that exited - the pickles were just salty and not very fragrant. But after another 10 days the result is fantastic - perfectly crunchy and flavorful! We love them and we are going to produce more! Thank you for sharing this recipe and your knowledge. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

With fermented pickles, you have to soak them in ice cold water for at least 30 minutes. You put vinegar in there when they are fermented to your liking. Also, the type of cucumber is REALLY important. Small cucumbers with very little seeds. If you do it right, they don't discolor, and they are very crunchy.

@Inkhed1 2 жыл бұрын

You can make a brine and just let them sit out with cheese cloth over them. I use the pop lock jars for ferment because the seal will let air out once you close them after a day or two. Just close them when you see the fermentation start.

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

@whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 2 жыл бұрын

For crisp okra, only use okra that is a few days old max, but preferably picked that day. Then freeze it right after picking it and put it in the jars frozen so that it cooks less with the canning method. Also use calcium chloride.

Just made a dozen jars tonight. Do a 1:1 ratio of white vinegar and water with a tablespoon of pickling salt per 8 cups of the mixture. Bring it to a boil. Add this brine to your jars of cucumbers (filled with spices, onions, garlic, etc). Boil the jars for 10 minutes, then set them out on the counter and let them rest for 48 hours. Made them many times before and they're crisper and tastier than anything I've found in a store.

@totustuus647 19 күн бұрын

I have a question, I just made 17 quarts of pickles in a water bath canner. I processed them for 10 minutes. It was late and I forgot to let them rest for an additional 5 minutes in the canner after the 10 minutes of boiling. (It’s what the hall book recommends.) We just removed them and let them cool on the counter. Do you typically let them rest 5 minutes. Should I go back and reprocess all 17 jars now. From your experience Any thoughts on this would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

@GordoDustin 13 күн бұрын

@@totustuus647 no need. If they’ve boiled for 10 minutes, you should be fine. Main indicator is the seal sucking down. Also, spend the $5 and buy pickle crispier powder. 1/4 teaspoon per jar and you’ll further ensure a good crunch. Best of luck!
