@BiblicalFE Жыл бұрын

@@annetterobin3303 They are sold in brine at grocery stores. Near the deli, in the tomato sauce aisle and in the Greek section/salad dressing aisle. You could always track some fresh ones down if you have farms/vineyards around your area. If you find the brine ones, use them out of the jar. To cook them, you have to boil them before stuffing. Boiling will kill the enzyme that keeps the cucumbers crispy.

I enjoyed the video and feel your method is simple. My last two batches were too salty or vinegar tasting. I am going to try yours with my cucumbers . The suggestion about packing the jars with the other items first, then carefully placing the maximum number of slices to conserve brine is a great tip. Thank you for posting

@nortoncomando3728 10 ай бұрын

I used your recipe and followed the instructions. My pickles came out delicious with crispy texture. I noted they were far less vinegary and salty than my previous attempts. My only change was I added minced garlic, onions, pepper corn and one bay leaf . I used the sane recipe for pickled eggs and they too came out great. The pickles are very refreshing on a hot day when stored in the refrigerator

@jimmyMNSTR_911 11 ай бұрын

obviously you are having success with your cucumbers, , but I'd suggest trying Johnnys Seeds little leaf variety. It's a smaller variety that'll still produce up to quart size usable cukes. It's also a prolific producer b/c of multi-branching, and a self-pollinator w/ other positive attributes.

Everyone has a slightly different imgredient list and ratio of water and vinegar, so I have watched multiple videos. I won't use hot peppers, but thanks for adding onions and more vinegar. My jar of store-bought pickles has minced onions and garlic. I might add red peppercorns, too. Last year, I got only one cucumber, so I was very excited to pick 5 yesterday!

@sqwrrl Жыл бұрын

I would just tell you to not omit the red pepper flakes entirely if you can. Instead of 1/2 tsp add 1/8 or just a scant sprinkle of pepper flakes. Even 10 or 12 flakes can add depth of flavor without heat as such.
