There are plenty of different ways to make pickles, and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all at one point or the other... BUT, this method is the most nutrient-packed way to preserve your cucumbers for later, as it turns them into a jar of tangy, probiotic goodness. Plus, you don't have to heat up your kitchen or use any special equipment!

Here's my recipe for icebox pickles-- they aren't fermented, but are quick to pop in the fridge when you're in a hurry! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4BOCrlwFeHc.html

This is similar to an old Polish way of preserving vegetables, like cucumbers, carrots, cauliflowers etc. You just need water, salt, dill, garlic and horseradish. And those last several years in the basement, not to mention their great health benefits :) greetings from Poland :)

Excellent video. If you soak the pickles (before putting them in jars) in cold water x2 (change the water twice) for an hour or so, it will add to the crisp crunch.

Thank you. I look forward to using this method. I would like to mention regarding your statement about leaving your municipal water sitting out over night to dechlorinate it. Most municipal water systems now use chloramines instead of just chlorine. They mix ammonia with the chlorine which makes it more stable, and sitting out over night will not do the trick.

Hello. I take stylus in hand to write and let you know I watched your video two weeks ago from today. I used pickling cucumbers from my garden and made my own pickles. I did (exactly) as you did in your video. I was scared and skeptical because it was my first time. I opened a jar and ate tonight, oh my gosh! So-o-o good! Excellent with hamburgers! I wish I could show you a picture of my finished product. I love the garlic taste. I wrote your recipe down per verbatim. I am looking forward to repeating your recipe in the future. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to fermintated canning because of you. Smiles I hope only to get better as I repeat every year. Your the best teacher. Thank you so much for being on RU-vid.

@afriendofB 3 года назад

We make tons of fermented pickles. SO much better. We use the Ball fermenting lids and springs. They have the vent and the spring to hold them down. We started in a 5 gal. bucket with an air lock, but using the 2 qt jars with the fermenting lid is much easier and lets you do smaller batches which helps when trying to keep up with cucumbers in the midst of a busy schedule. One thing we add that you didnt is either horseradish leaves or grape leaves as a cover on the top. Helps keep everything under the brine and really ups the crunch.

@traceylinnenbrogger8018 2 года назад

@fredhoy6697 3 года назад

@RuSosan 3 года назад

Yeap, the best part is that you can just experiment with different spices, flavorings etc. with the brine, make it sweeter, saltier etc. until you find your personal favourites. Overall pickled veggies are just excellent.

@sdickerson8283 2 года назад

I love these pickles. I use the same method with other veges, and cabbage too. My favorite spicing is also a kimchee type flavor- I call it "kimchee light". Add garlic, korean red pepper flakes, and some fish sauce to the brine- Yummy!

@@lunaticgaming7967 Agriculture is destroying the planet. It is very frustrating how much miss information there is on this topic. Grazing can actually sequester far more carbon than forests at a much, much faster rate. If we grazed animals on a large enough scale, we could actually mitigate all human emissions. Growing plants can not do this. Plant agriculture uses massive amounts of fossil fuels and unlike grazing cattle, it doesn't mitigate its own emissions. The soil microbiome is killed with chemicals and that dead soil is lost rapidly, causing complete land infertility and desertification. Grazing animals is the fastest way to replenish these lands, bring the microbes back, give nutrients back, rehydrate, break up impaction, and build soil faster than any other process. It would take nature decades to build the amount of soil made in a couple of yrs of Grazing.

So I am sitting, searching the web for a deal on glass weights. In Canada they are over $5.00. I had a creative session with my self, on how to keep the food under the solution. I am a stain glass artist with a lot of clear glass - I cut a circle and a bunch of squares to put on top to push down on the glass circle. I also tried an oval that fits in to the jar, turn it horizontal and it is locked in... the cost to me $0.00 I just came up with this a few days back and I am finding the circles and squares work better and they are always perpendicular to the lid. Just putting this out there...

I do have a wonderful recipe for pickles which was given to me by a lady in South Carolina. You put the cucumbers in a 1 gallon jar and cover them with cider vinegar and let them sit for 6 weeks. At the end of 6 weeks you discard the vinegar; wipe the cucumbers down with a paper towel; slice them and put them back in the gallon jar. You add six cups of sugar and a couple drops of oil of cloves. Stir them up and leave them in the refrigerator. They will make their own juice and stay crisp. They do have a delicious flavor all their own but they do need to be refrigerated.

Blossom end causes mush but the stem end is bitter, I cut this end until I start to see seeds. Also if your storage space is a bit warm(over 70) a tablespoon of vinegar still allows for fermentation but the bad stuff won't grow. Usually it will start turning cloudy after about 3-4 days
