Nice clear instructions Donna! I've wanted to give fermentation a try but I haven't been brave enough. I stick to "refrigerator" pickling, one jar at a time. Should I get up the nerve to try fermentation, I have some jalapeño coming along in the garden that are just about ready. We'll see what happens. Thanks for the info!
I am attempting to ferment for the first time and your video is extremely detailed and informative. I have been reading that the lids need to be burped to avoid explosions. I am extremely nervous about that. Do I need to take any extra precautions if I don’t use the pickle pipes and instead use the flat lids that come with the mason jar? Thanks!
I’ve done well with the sour kraut and the jalapeños, but I have had zero luck with cucumbers 😞 .... and hey I agree I used a few different lids and techniques along the way and found the pickling pipes worked best .... and I also went with the off brand ones 👍🏻
If I wanted to do the Mexican spicy carrots and jalapenos together, how much salt would I use for that? I know you said the salt ratios are different for carrots and jalapenos.
Here are a couple of videos which should help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ksc9UvMBw-4.html and ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PWsaXKBhzAk.html
Well, so I tried fermenting jalapenos and I have questions/concerns. At the end of 10 days, should the mix be completely dissolved? I had a little cloudiness and the garlic had a strange blue'ish tint. I keep the temperature in the 60-72 range with a few short exceptions. There's no foul odor and the peppers taste okay, but she ain't pretty. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks. PS. I really like the mix
I did a similar video on cucumbers making pickles, so I used the same intro and brine instructions from the cucumber video. However,, the rest of this applies to jalapenos. Hope you can try it soon. Thanks
I like hot peppers and think the heat on these is perfect. However, it depends on the variety of jalapeno you grow. Many varieties are much hotter than others. Here is a little information: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AHw9oJJZjI0.html
I had to look this up. While technically she is correct, I found the use of both terms confusing. I wasn't sure if she was using vinegar or not even from the title.
