Want delectable, crunchy pickles? If you have a precision cooker, you're set. Using your favourite pickle ingredients (or my recipe below!), you can pasteurize fresh cucumbers and make the pickles of your dreams!
My recipe:
5 garlic cloves, halved
fresh dill
1 tsp yellow mustard seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp pickling salt
1/4 tsp pickle crisp (calcium chloride) - get it here: amzn.to/47V4rDw
As many cucumbers as you can jam in the jar
Top up with 50/50 mix of 5% acetic acid white vinegar with filtered water
Pasteurize via precision cooker at 150F for around 3 hours. Let sit in cool place for a couple weeks to hit maximum flavor, and then enjoy!
