There's nothing better than a true fermented dill pickle. Those vinegar-based pickles they sell in the grocery stores do not come close to the delicious flavor of a properly fermented cucumber pickle. More than that, there are great health benefits to fermenting your food including probiotic properties that are good for your gut. I'll show you how I pickle my cucumbers in this video and how to make a 2.5% brine. I will not provide you with measurements for spices and additions to your ferment, you will need to look that up yourself if you're not comfortable with eyeballing the contents like I am. I want you to come away from this video confident that you confirm it at home. With a few easy to acquire tools, you will be set to preserve your food in this ancient and healthy way.
Here are some links if you need to tool up for fermenting, including the three types of lids I show in the video, and a couple of options for glass weights:

If I can grow enough little cucumbers to make just one jar of pickles, then my gardening year will not have been in vain! Loving the new hat by the way! 😊👌

@benthere8051 3 года назад

I am growing Asian long beans which pickle very well. I am going to try Scott's cold process on my next batch.

@homewardboundfibers9682 Год назад

I never thought of using those giant glass jars and I have several of them I occasionally use to propagate begonias, thank you so much!

@WILLITGROW 3 года назад

very nice put together video scott..great trick with the brine in the bag in case it breaks..well done sir.

@shpuply 3 года назад

I loved this Scott! That's how I ferment as well. You're really stepping up your culinary game! So many show the growing process,but rarely what we do with it all. Thank you as always

@freddieslaughter1107 Год назад

The top five must haves for this blend are mustard seed, coriander seed, dill seed, whole peppercorns and crushed bay leaves. Those five things will give you a great pickle taste. The rest are often found in pickling spices but not always. The rest of my choices are dehydrated onion, dehydrated garlic, allspice berries, whole cloves, crushed cinnamon sticks and crushed chili de arbol.

@hereiknowmyself-jeaniealks377 3 года назад

Fascinating! I’ve never made pickles but I am growing dill and pickling cucumbers just for this purpose. I’m so glad my garden is a little behind yours so I can learn what to do just before I need to know. 😀

@sharonmacintyrebarrett8572 Год назад

I love your video's I will be making pickles this fall and I am looking so forward to it. Thank you for all the help. I might be 73 but I am new to fermenting foods, dehydrating, and canning.

@thejacobhill 3 года назад

I have pickle Crocks, and a sauerkraut crock. I still use a little but I found an e-jen fermentation container to do a wonderful job.. so I ended up getting more of them. Super easy

@whutwhut2434 3 года назад

What do you like about the e-jen? Is it the big tub so that you can do large batches?

@thejacobhill 3 года назад

@@whutwhut2434 no I have some pretty big Crocks.. it's the double lid system it really helps with the smell, and makes it so easy to ferment and reduces the risk the batch goes bad

@barbarariker3863 Год назад

Thank you Scott going to try this year.

Love your pickling, growing and cooking programs. I have a good veggie garden and now you have inspired me to get right into pickling. Many thanks for your easy instructions.

@patwalker483 3 года назад

I’m in Plano and I can’t believe we are so far behind you all. I’d guess two weeks. I’m just getting yellow squash and some cherry tomatoes and lots of peppers. Cucumbers have blossoms now so hope they start producing.

@benthere8051 3 года назад

I'm in Dallas and I'd say it's more like four weeks.

@suebrasel2701 3 года назад

I love the "a little of this and a little of that" method of making each jar full different! I'd love to enjoy the samples with you, but will wait until I make my own!

@lindashankle9645 Год назад

Thanks. I'm making a pint of sliced pickling cucumbers just to test the waters first. I've already made several jars of sauerkraut from my cabbages so I'm not desperate for gut health foods right now. I can't wait to taste my fermented pickles. Again, thanks.😊

@bobbiewilliams3109 3 года назад

Very detailed info! Loved it! I find using a funnel for the wide mouth mason jars is very helpful when transferring food items and brine. Thanks for taking the time to teach us your technique.

@leticiagr2222 3 года назад

I'm a newcomer to fermentation. You've given me some good stuff.

@ASIANJUNK 3 года назад

I make cucumber kimchi and the process is different but the benefits are so worth it. I didn't have glass weights when I started and used the same zip lock method. It was so rewarding to find that it was not a no-no! I really want to try these pickles you made this year! Thank you so much for sharing this!

@4thHouseOnTheRight 3 года назад

Great vid! I love that you eyeball it. I'm the same because that's the way my grandparents & great-grandparents did it. And everything always came out great! I sometimes add in some hot peppers too - just for a little kick! Thanks for all you do!

@hereiknowmyself-jeaniealks377 3 года назад

Wow! I just went searching for the difference between fermentation and pickling and found out that it’s so much better for your health! Glad I have time to order those special lids! I had no idea!

@hereiknowmyself-jeaniealks377 3 года назад

Yay. Waded out and Harvested 12 pickles this morning before it started to rain again (enough already) received all of the pickling stuff you recommended yesterday.. perfect way to spend a rainy day! Revisiting this video

@donnajas 3 года назад

You make it look so easy. My cucumbers are blooming now so I have some time to get my ingredients together. Glad you mentioned cramps. I get leg cramps all the time and will definitely try drinking the liquid. That's a good reason to make this recipe.

This was very interesting, I've not seen pickles fermented before, I have only ever used vinegar. They look lovely Scott, thanks for sharing 😊

Educational enjoyment as always. I’m z5-6 & waiting to plant 🌱 in June. However, my greenhouse is overflowing & I’m chomping at the bit!! Love your gardening. Have a great day 🥒🍅🧤

Yes they stay crunchy for a good long while.

@digsindirt4490 3 года назад

Great video. Hubby is hoping I can pickle some of the harvest. Now I have an idea where to begin. 🎉

@Buck1954 Год назад

Obviously you've been doing this awhile. I learned to measure by eye, and holding the spice in my hand. So I love your methods. I'm just starting out in this. I still have some things to buy. Trying your sauerkraut recipe first. And I subscribed.

@roycejohnson6095 3 года назад

Once again another great video Scott!! I'm going to have to take your advice and try and see if I can harvest enough cucumbers in one day to get them in a brine the same day. I have lost two crocks worth of cucumbers last season. I believe it was because I used some week old cucumbers mixed with fresh picked cucumbers. I even used a 5% brine and some of the pickles your fingers would just sink into them they were so soft. We planted 19 cells worth of seeds and ended up with only six plants so hopefully we can get a good single harvest like you did in your last video to try it out. Your salt looks very similar to the Redmond real sat we use. Keep the videos coming.

I have a lot of "go-to" sources for gardening and preserving instructional videos. Gardener Scott for soil prep and growing potatoes. MIgardener for complete growing guides on a variety of vegetables. The Millennial Gardener on sprouting, growing and curing sweet potatoes. No-Till Growers on market gardening with minimal soil disruption. You have become the go-to guy on fermentation. I'm a few days from finishing my first sauerkraut ferment and am looking forward to my first fermented pickles with our fall cucumbers. Thank you for doing such a great job!

@benthere8051 3 года назад

The Asians use the water from washing their rice as the source of the lactobacillus for making pickles of all sorts. Their fermented veggies have a unique flavor you might not care for. Garlic is common of the two. But you use a cold process and that makes a big difference. Sauer kraut is also a cold process, and it works. You might consider daikon radish and green papaya pickles someday. The brine is a good electrolyte. I like what you do, Scott. My garden was destroyed by Grazon and I have almost completely switched to hydroponics after gardening for 60 years.

Great Informative content Scott , I have alot of cucumbers , even some I didnt see that got really big & Yellow lol. I found a recipe to use them up with , Relish ( either sweet or dill relish - I wish we lived closer as Id give you some ) About the fermented Pickles they look amazing & so much easier also - I love all of Mrs Nancys Kim chi Recipes forsure - I was paying for alittle jar between $5.99-$7.99 - Now I can make my own due to her & Mr Hollis . I keep a Journal / Cheap Notebook NOW for all the recipes & Gardening tips , So I always have them on hand . Mrs Nancy uses Extra Leaves for her Kim chi to keep everything down & push the cabbage under - The bag idea with Brine was Brillant Scott ! God bless you Boy oh boy have I gotten alot of Ping tong Eggplants so far this year , Tomorrow Im making eggplant Lasagna with them , today Im making Mrs Hoss / Sheila stuffed Different peppers with italian sausage etc for dinner . Its so great to go shopping in our Back yards for Our Meals , especially with the prices going up daily ..... Everyone loves your Fresh Cherry tomatoe/ Basil with fettucine meal , I even froze some .... Thank you Mrs Josette Tharp Montgomery County , Texas

I thought i could use regular canning lids. Will have to order some lids. You're always so helpful. Your recipe looks great.

@markkindermannart4028 7 месяцев назад

I just made my first batch of fermented pickles (prior to viewing this video), and I used regular canning lids just partially screwed on. I live in Hawaii where it is pretty hot and left them on the counter for 4 days without an issue. I didn't bother with boiling the lids or jars and I had no issue ending up with fantastic pickles. On a side note, a Polish girlfriend once told me that in Poland they always put spears of fresh horseradish in with the cukes which I did to a wonderful end.

@hardyakka6200 3 года назад

Interesting. We always pickle Beetroot, but that's how they are eaten. Cleanliness is the secret to preserving food.

@ritabrunetti381 3 года назад

Hello Scott. How easy you make fermenting look. I'll try it out myself when I have cucs to use. Be well.

@heaz32 Год назад

Dang! I wish we could have seen these suckers when they were done. They look delicious. I just made some sauerkraut earlier today!

@kennethcope7266 11 месяцев назад

Or, just do a kilo of water and then 2-3% is REALLY easy to work out. Otherwise, thank you for the video, I did not learn anything new but your video was very good for making me confident in what I'm doing when fermenting. 2-5% salt, that's the magic ratio. More salt for things like cucumbers that ferment like crazy off-the-block. Please don't get me wrong, I DID enjoy the video, and I will be watching more of your channel suggestions. And, your fermentation recipe seems really tasty - I also like a lot of variety and flavour in my pickles. Thank you.

@tomevans4402 3 года назад
