👁 👁 👄 I loved💗your sneak away video🎥to eat 😂🤣🤣you reminded me of me when my daughter was little she's👧🏽 34 now thanks for the memories💗😊gonna make these homemade pickles🥒 next week👍🏾😊
There's lots of different things you can add to your brine, but I always try to include a bay leaf or two, or an oak leaf or two because the tannins make your pickles crunchy 🥒🥒🥒🥒
When my grandmother was alive we'd spend many hours in the kitchen preparing cucumbers, beets, peaches and many other kinds of garden produce for canning. My grandmother had knowledge that could fill a book on her canning and pickling recipes. This was back when we had no air conditioning AND the reward for helping was an afternoon off to go to the town pool with my 2 sisters. Great memories. I miss her terribly. ❤️❤️❤️😊🙏🏻
Same with my grandmother. She was raised at the end of the great depression on a farm. Grew own food, canned and stored for Winter. To this day I can remember the sound of snapping beans with grandma!!
Yeah I was watching this and like "um pretty sure when canning you're suppose to have your jars submerged with an inch of water above?" That's how mom and grandma taught me lol
@@CAMC4955 in my family we fill the jars with vinegar to the top and seal them shut completely, then we place them in the water to boil, where they're full submerged in the water.
I remember when I was a little girl and my mom made pickles for the first time. The recipe said wait 6 weeks, and I think we only made it to 5 weeks because we just couldn't wait any more. My mom became an avid canner, and she made about 8 different kinds of pickles and they were all fabulous!
OMG!!! Thank you. Grandma use to make the best pickles but as the years went by, she couldn't remember all the details. We tried several batches but something was wrong, they were not edible. The only difference between yours and Grandmas was the mustard seeds. Now I have hope of recapturing a childhood favorite. Wish me luck!!!
Its important that when you boil the cans you cover the jars with 2 inches of water or you should refridgerate them. Shelf stability requires a specific proceedure for waterbath canning.
@@katelynnstarkey3517 no. Canning jars are made for this purpose. You water bath can certainly foods fully submerged and you use a pressure canner for other foods like canning meat and veggies
Yes, exactly! Open bath canning is risky, at best. And the cukes, etc. need to be as clean as possible, as fresh garlic can go bad in this process (look for blue garlic = BAD pickles, do not even open the jar.
tell her that if i haven't had found help online in courses i had struggeld with-i wouldn't had even a qurater deegre😭 nor would be able to subbimt any homework-because they require you to submmit it on the courses site. (and sometimes to look up online for sources) p.s.for for any typeing mistakes
You're supposed to use a deeper pot. The water should be a minimum of one inch above the top of the jars once the jars are in the pot, and the water is boiling. Even with vinegar and salt you are risking botulism without doing so. Lactofermented pickles are much tastier, and way more healthier. They're quiet delicious. Make sure you weigh your salt instead of using a measuring cup. There's a big difference based on what salt you choose to use. Without measuring by weight you risk having an extremely salty product that is inedible.
@@KiarraRanson typically the water level it up closer to the neck of the jar, not halfway. So everything is under water, it's just not completely submerged.
You just finger tighten the lid down snug. Enough so the water doesn't seep into the jars. The bubbles and air are pushed out of the jars due to pressure that builds up within the jars as they draw in the heat from the boiling water. The length of time for it to do this depends on the size of the jar and the altitude you are doing it at. I'm sure your method works, but it's safer to have the entire jar submerged to keep an even temperature throughout the jar. Another thing you should do if you aren't using a water bath canner with a basket that lifts the jars from the bottom of the pan is to place a clean towel in the bottom so your jars have a less likely chance of cracking from the temperature difference when contacting the bottom of the pan. It doesn't always happen, but it does happen. If you have access to fresh organic grapevine leaves or oak leaves, put one in the bottom of each jar to keep the pickles crisper. The tannins in these leaves do a great job of keeping them crispy. Hope this helps.
I used to make Bread ‘n Butter pickles in pint jars that were so thin you could read a newspaper through them. . .they took me forever and ever to cut up since I made at least 24 pints for the two of us. . .can’t do that anymore. . .with my eyesight I would leave a finger or two in the jars. Then the quarts of tomatos, ketchup, soup base, and every fruit preserve you could think of. Then we froze berries, peaches. . .what a difference 50 years makes,
Me and my family’s make these whenever we go to our grandparents! You can also make sweet pickles, and if you add pepper corns the dill is even better!
İn Turkey homemade pickles is a very important thing. Every mom or grandma makes it diffrent ways. So actually making pickles is a legacy in Turkey. WE LOVE PICKLES 🥹
i made pickled green beans last year. Soak in ice bath for 24-48 hrs before canning. In my brine, I added a "spice pouch" of dill seeds to add more dill flavor. in the jars, I did dill seeds instead of mustard seeds with my fresh dill and garlic cloves. The small 12 jar test batch did NOT last the season. The whole family loves how vinegary, garlicky, and dilly the beans were, on top of how well they retained their CRUNCH. Hoping to make more this summer.
My mom, aunties, grandmothers and great grandma taught me to water bath can where the canner must be deep enough so that at least one inch of boiling water should be over the tops of jars during processing.
Yea, she is CANNING pickles. Top needs to be covered in water to seal the lids if she doesn't want them to rot in the jar. How do you think they will last 4 to 6 weeks on the shelf...by canning.
@@user-rr8ri3ri2t botulism is a poisoning caused by bacteria. It can be fatal, requires emergency medical care, and it is commonly found in improperly preserved food and drink. When canning you need to be very very careful and follow specific guidelines or you risk your canned food developing the bacteria that causes botulism. As a beginner learning to can you should really only use official recipes that can be found in websites such as the National Center for Home Food Preservation. Proper canning techniques are extremely important.
Oh ok ok i’ve always wanted to make my own pickles and I have watched lots of people on the Internet do it, but you are way just looks so good and easy to do I will be trying your recipe on how to make these pickles great job.👍👌✌️😉🥒🥒🥒
I am 62 years old. I loved home made pickles but have not had a jar since 1986. I am certain to have a home made pickles again in about nine months. Thank you.
Oh, I'm gonna try your recipe! Mine's close to that, but I don't boil them. I use the same pickles, but I choose smaller so I don't cut them. Place tightly in a jar. Add 1 soup spoon of sea salt per 1l jar, some mustard seeds, place dill on top, pour water to top it all, close the jar and leave in the sun for a few days. Once they change their color, they're ready to eat.
I've never made my homemade pickles from scratch. But what I've done in the past, and still do is: when I buy a jar of pickles, I save the juice. Then I buy more cucumbers and put it in the already made juice 😋😋
In here preserving food is a big thing and one of the foods we preserve the most are dill pickles (we also add zucchini in there too, they taste delicious). The way we do them is quite similar to the method in the video and it's true that the homemade ones are the best! We usually keep them in our basements and eat them up in the winter. They're great for salads and side dishes.
She’s right, the best pickles I’ve ever had were homemade. I’m growing cucumbers, carrots, onions, and garlic to pickle. I’m also growing ghost chili peppers for some heat. When I had ghost chili peppers it wasn’t that spicy. It certainly wasn’t hotter than a jalapeño to me but I did have worse symptoms of spiciness like sweating, my sinuses completely cleared, my skin on my face was sensitive to the touch. Can’t wait to do it again!
well, I did what you said but after I read the comments I started thinking about botulism etc 🥴 so into the fridge they go and I tweaked 2 out of the 3 batches I made and they're good to go already lol they will probably taste better over time but they may only keep for about a month in the fridge. thank you for sharing 1st batch: original recipe 2nd: added canned red peppers 3rd: added canned red peppers and heaping tsp of cane sugar to 1/2 of the brine used in video. This was the flavor I liked more 😋
This brings back so many memories. My grandparents used to have an entire room in the basement where they kept all their fruits veggies from their garden that they canned. The pickles and relish they made was always my favorite as a kid.
This is vinegar pickles. Real, traditional pickles are fermented like sauerkraut or kimchi. They get their flavor from lactic acid. Vinegar is similar in taste to lactic acid, but not quite as good imo.
Your fabulous and I love the dishes you share with us! I'm sorry that your teachers were mean to you when you were just a little girl, Thank You for being who you are.
1st you forgot to mention some key steps to ensure proper processing. Second, I have never seen canning done only half submerged. Edit to add, I hope the jars were on a rack keeping them off the bottom of the pan.
@@ericaa4720 What I am thinking is she is making refrigerator pickles, cause those jars will not seal. It what I don't get is why boil after hot packing if she is just gonna refrigerate.
Be careful boiling mason jars. The glass isnt tempered and the bottoms can break off, most of the time this happens is when the bottom of the jar is in direct contact with the pan
That's why on is supposed to use a rack in the bottom of the pot. If you don't have a rack, you could put a folded dish towel in the bottom of the pot (that's what my grandma did and nobody got sick from anything she canned for the table .... you name it, she canned it. she even made "potted" meat and canned pickled pig's feet."
Actually you were not wrong. All pickles are not cucumber, but this is a cucumber pickle. You can have pickles of all sorts of things like mango pickle, garlic pickle, ginger , radish, carrot anything.
in Russia we have been making this recipe for many generations in families many all over the country. Even my great-grandmother did this, and now I do. But we do not cut the cucumbers, but put them whole, so they turn out to be more crispy. It's funny how our folk recipe suddenly became popular with foreign food bloggers. I have seen similar videos already 5 times haha
@@katzwhite5962 the technical term for what the process is is a water bath. This technique is used with a higher acidic food. You bring the water to boil with like the first nickel of your finger is about an inch to cover it the lid is not just some regular lid it's a special lid with a ring so you it's called finger tightening so you want to finger have that little finger tight only. The process only takes 10 to 12 minutes when completed but you have to prevent botulism which is an invisible killer it's a mold it's doesn't have a takes years for it to develop where you can see it but it is still prevalent and can cause you to have food poisoning real easily. Water will not get in there I promise you
You are definitely going to want to use the flower tops from the Dill, not the smaller side leave so much. In order to really get the flavor from the dillweed you need the flower tops!
If I understand you correctly, you are thinking of the wrong kind of pickle. you are thinking of a spicy pickle, maybe you’ll recognise it as an ‘achaar’ the kind you get in a jar. These are pickle pickles- idk how to explain but it’s the kind you find in burgers in thin slices.
