My mom said that gruntowe ogòrki are the once grown outside not in hot house. Figure I share. I pickled mine without leaves just slice of sour dough bread, I let my pickles soak in just reg, cold water for few hours before pickling, makes them more crunchy, so they say. 🥰 .

I do the same with saving my glass jars. They are getting harder to find nowadays. 😊 I'm still working on getting all the ingredients for Zurek. I really must live in a total food desert! It's has been a total adventure finding the ingredients. Took 2 months to finally find "Marjoram", "All Spice Berries" & was happy to finally find a store that had celery root but still working on finding the Parsley Root. I will have to settle for Johnsonville Sausages because I gave up on locating fresh Polish Sausage. My Zurek will probably be the most expensive soup I will ever make but I just got to try it. Thanks for all your videos!

I am always amazed at the difference in cultures and the way food is stored. In America the safe and sure way to store pickles is either fermenting like you showed or water bath can, and we cover the lids with at least an inch of water and process for 15 minutes. The Home Preservation says this is the safest way to preserve. But our grandmothers and their grandmothers did things differently. Makes you wonder why sometimes…??? Anyways, love that you’re back showing videos, and pickles…YES!

@jeanettegirosky7735 11 ай бұрын

once you put them in hot water bath, you lose the benefits of fermentation. The important thing is the salt ratio to ensure the Lactobacillus has a chance to colonize before any bad bacteria does. This is how fermenting works. Been doing it this way for years.

This brings back strong memories of going to bed in the summer night and trying to deeply inhale the garlic-scented air after my Nannie (Babci) made pickles. I don’t recall the jars being capped the way she did with canning tomatoes. But we’re talking almost 60 years here, so who knows?

My polish grandma did a double brining , you put the first brine in then wait 15 minutes , dump it out and put new brine in ,then process in the canner . The two step brining was suppose to keep a clearer colour and presentation .

I have been pickling cucumbers for a number of years now, I usually make bread and butter pickles and dill pickles. I use pickling salt instead of sea salt or rock salt...it's much finer than the other salts and it's non-iodised My method of making dill pickles is pretty much exactly like your vinegar method. I don't use horseradish root, should try it sometime, but I do use lots of garlic, peppercorns, mustard seeds and fresh dill. 😋 Typically I slice the cucumbers into spears, I can fit more in the jar that way. I use mostly pint sized Mason jars with lids and rings and do the standard water bath method. Have you ever made bread and butter pickles? They are really delicious! I must admit I prefer the garlic dill pickles more, but the bread and butter variety are great on sandwiches! Take care!!!

I do brined pickles too, almost the same way but I don't heat the brine. I let them sit out for about 3 days and then refrigerate them because I like them half sour. They are so good! I am now going to use a few pieces of horseradish root too, I never thought of that and I think it will make a great addition. Thanks Anna! Oh! I had no idea that "polack" was not a derogatory term but a word for a Polish man! Yeah, here in the States the word polack was used as a slur.

Anju you mentioned Oak Leafs, Be very careful with those. I am watching this with my Polska mom and she made me type. From what my mom sifted to me the leaf is necessary but when using Oak treat one leaf like its 10, so my mom claims when using Oak leafs to add the crisp , use a piece the size of a thumb nail, Grape leaf is best she claims, if you cant get Current leafs. Also she mentioned to get your garlic at a farmers market, not sure about the US but here in Canada Garlic looks like garlic but what devil place it comes from is hard to make known, the Garlic we get here at any common grocery store is as bitter as a wife when you come home at 10pm when she knows your work day ended at 4pm. ugh mom gives a huge thumbs up to your previous ogurki malosolne recipe. My mom is also screaming at me regarding Vinigar for konserwowe, the dollar store or wallmart stuff will fail you, If no polish store about go to a kosher store. she says avoid costco walmart and dollar stores, they make stuff for quantity not quality, so find quality.

I love fermented pickles. We used to call them sun pickles. Mom would cut the cukes into spears but leave the ends connected so we would pull them apart to eat them. We also used a piece of bread on top to hold the pickles under the water. Then set them outside in the sun to get warm.

@mobo8074 2 жыл бұрын

Overflow is normal and you shouldn't worry. Fermentation process is very quick in these jars, so just check when the cucumbers will change colour from green to golden- green. They'll be fine to eat. The only thing is: get some paper under the jars, so it'll absorb liquid and protect the surface they're on. Brine can be really destructive when left on surfaces. Hope it helps ☺️

Polack is a deeply offensive term in English. You lived in The U.S. and one would expect a much better judgement from you. It took your American husband to do some demage control. Most Americans don't know Polish so the Polish pronunciation of nationality is irrelevant here.
