Koolblue13 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 So I have my cucumbers coming in left and right. I have almost 50 of those little suckers on the vine right now and I want to pickle them. Does anybody have a good pickling technique and recipe? I also have cherry peppers coming in as well as banana peppers to pickle and make for putting on my sammiches. Can anybody be a help to me or does anybody know a good web site? If I ever make it to a football game, I'll bring them with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some mason jars too.Also, here is a recipe for some quick sweet pickles. They only last about two weeks though. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/quick-sweet-pickles-recipe/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 A lot of Good Eats episodes are on Youtube, including the ones on pickles: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=alton+brown+pickles&search_type=&aq=f I dunno whether Alton Brown/Food Network don't care, don't know, or what. Edit: Because of Youtube's size requirements, the episodes are broken up into two or three segments, so just make sure you catch all of it.

What about peppers and tomatoes? Uh, look at the posts. I was helpful. I may be a smartass, but I try to be a helpful one. Some old guy used to bring pickled sausages in to work but I forgot how he said he made them. Something about red pepper salt and vinegar. Oh well. They were good tho!

rincewind Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Pickles are cucumbers that sold their soul to the Devil. And the Devil was dill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarhog Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Just because you 'found it on the internet' doesn't mean its a good recipe guys. Trust me. And yeah, I used to have a huge vegetable garden each year and found a perfect dill pickle recipe. Sterilize quart jars. Wash your cucumbers and cut off the 'bloom' end (that'll help keep them from getting soft in the jar). In the bottom of each of the quart jars, put a couple of bay leaves, a teaspoon of mustard seeds, a couple of peeled whole garlic cloves, and a couple of sprigs of fresh dill. Pack the quart jars with your cucumbers. top each jar off with the same as the bottom (bay leaves, mustard seeds, a couple peeled garlic cloves, and some fresh dill. Fill the jars to about a 1/2 inch from the top with simple brine solution (5% plain white vinegar with pickling or kosher salt - I don't remember the exact amounts, but you CAN probably use whatever ratio you find in other recipes on the internet). Top with your standard canning lid and use the boiling technique to can. In a month, these will be unbelievably good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
