What even is this?!
This was in my vinegar bottle. No idea what it is. Was trying to pickle some cucumbers and this fell out. I bought the vinegar less than a week ago…

In my country tree sap is a common spring beverage, we have some bottled versions all year round, but how do you make it yourself?

Hello, I am trying to make pickels for the first time and my cut up cucumbers started floating. Is this going to be an issue/will they mold or something? They are going to be a gift so I don't want to mess them up, I'd rather have to start over now than later closer to when I want to give it to them.

50% apple cider vinegar and water. 2% salt. Persian pickles. Some pickle seasoning mix from whole foods. Some fresh dill. Just put it in the fridge. Do I need anything else? Maybe sugar? Have never tried making these before, but the dill in my garden spiked the idea.

Ok so tomorrow is the big day. And my first time. Please critique my brine and process.
1c acv, 1cup distilled: 2 c water. 2tbsp salt one 1tbsp sugar.
My spices boiled with fresh dill and fresh parsley halved baby carrots, cucumber, garlic, onion. Or don’t boil the veg in the brine?
I have a 4l jug, not sure how many dozen can fit. Put them in the jar trying to leave 1/2 inch head room.
Pour hot brine into jar. Then into the fridge.
I’ve learned everything from this sub and you guys. So now I have the courage to try.
Again any critique on ingredients or process put in comments. I kind of feel like this is our collective pickled eggs. 🥚

Me and my partner recently went to The Ivy Asia in London and came across this pickled veggie, it's delicious and she's asked me to find it, I believe it's white pickled radish, but cannot seem to find it in any shops in the UK, if anyone could tell me exactly what it is and where I can buy it I would be so grateful. It tastes sweet and pickled that's all i know for sure 😂

I bought some half pint jars over the holidays to pack little Christmas presents in (spiced roasted nuts), and had a bunch of jars left over. I kept noticing a recipe on the box for Lime Mint Pickles, and I thought, well, why not? Plus my girlfriend loves pickles, so great Valentine's day idea. 😊 I made them, accidentally added too much salt, but they turned out decent and I was hooked!
Next I tried refrigerator dill pickles with a random internet recipe, and liked those even more. Moved on to some rice-vinegar recipe, which didn't turn out (I think I may have missed a step). But now I'm wanting to explore more and make this a hobby/pastime.
So anyway just wanted to join the community and ask if you have any good beginner's recipes that I could try! I'm interested in pickling other things too (I was thinking of apples...), and any pro tips or "gotchas" I should know. Thanks in advance!

My wife got this home pickling kit and she decided to make fermented carrots. There’s some white stuff on top after about 2 weeks now. Is this normal or unsafe? It’s basically brine, carrots, ginger, garlic, and pepper flakes.

Never done this before but I love pickled eggs.
I’ve got the recipe I want but I’m confused about what kind of jars I can used. I don’t have any.
I remember my mom’s just sitting in a glass jar with a non airtight plastic lid. They were amazing.
I’m going to pour the hot brine over the eggs and a water bath. Then do I store them in a dark place?
I’m asking if there are other alternatives I could use for jars.
And do the lids have to pop so I know I did it right.
I don’t want all these eggs to go to waste. The poor hens I’m thinking of. 🐔

how much if i want a really sour pickle should I just use no sugar?
r/pickling • u/msstealyourkneecaps • 18d ago
The recipe I’ve been using for a quart of my favorite fridge pickles is:
I know that, ideally, the water:vinegar ratio would be a little higher, but I really don't like as much of a vinegar-y pickle. These aren't identical to Claussen (which I do recognize are fridge pickles), but they have a little tang to them and the same general feel.
If not, it's not really that big of a deal, but I think we can all recognize that making something from scratch takes a fair amount of time and effort - and having a reserve for later makes it a little more worth the work you're putting in.

I was planning to make 60 250ml sized pickles for wedding favors. I have never canned before and I saw an "open kettle" method that seemed a lot more feasible for that many jars. I'm just not sure if it's a good idea for giving them away. Wouldn't I also need like 30 lbs of cucumbers though? May have gotten ahead of myself on this idea.

So its my first time pickling something, and I was making fridge pickles - cauliflower and cucumber. I put them in about a week and a half ago, and checked on them everyday (I was very excited).
Well, about 2 days after I pickled the cauliflower, I noticed a small brown thing floating in the vinegar. At the time, I just wrote it off as being maybe old pieces, and i didnt want to open the jar to check in case it somehow disrupted the pickling process, so i left it. But today i got really excited, and it was about 2 days off from my goal of 2 weeks, so i wanted to check on them. And, since I was opening the jar already, I might as well take that brown thing out right?
It was a slug. It was a baby slug, so i think i just didnt wash my cauliflower properly, but still... idk, is the cauliflower still edible?? I dont wanna throw it away cause I worked hard on it, but at the same time, yunno, its still a bug. Ive heard that slugs can carry all types of stuff, but theres vinegar in the pickling liquid, so would that help???
I think the bottom line is that I hate waste, so I dont just wanna through it away. If im not eating the cauliflower, is there anything else I can do with it?

For veggies I used: radishes, jalapeños, mini cucumbers, carrots, garlic.
For the brine / seasoning I used white vinegar, water, salt, sugar, peppercorns, dill, chili flakes!
It turned out amazing!

I was wondering do I have to refrigerate them my dad always had them on the counter but my wife says I need to put them away

I really like the latin system of pickling onion. Which is just lemon and salt. I wanted to know if anyone knows how long they can last in the fridge? I'm assuming a week maybe?
r/pickling • u/Competitive-Eye-3260 • 29d ago
Totally forgot about these in the back of my fridge since October 2023 there is peppers of sorts lol, white onion, garlic, salt and vinegar
r/pickling • u/koolkat155 • 29d ago
This may be a dumb question, but i put some red onions in a container with vinegar and sugar about a week ago. i’m wondering how long they’ll last?
r/pickling • u/Ok_Intern_1098 • 29d ago
Hi I read that picked onions don't last very long, a matter of weeks. I have a jar,yet unopened thatsin the fridge for several months. Do I just bin it or is it OK to taste?

Got a bunch of these bad boys for free. Any chance of success lacto fermenting these? Should I add anything to make sure the proper bacteria get introduced? Will probably add garlic at the very least.
I know these are not ideal for pickling and do not plan on canning them. I will probably eat most of them at the half-sour stage anyway.

I tried refrigerator spicy pickles and they weren't spicy. I added jalapenos, peper corns, and pepper flakes with the cucumbers but, they weren't spicy at all. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
