I started making my own pickles last year and I’ve been hooked ever since…I’m hoping these will last at least a week or two😄

    Just started pickling. Experimenting with cucumber spears, small white onions, garlic cloves, and fresh dill. In vinegar (50/50 white and Apple) instead of salt brine.

    Going to try letting it ferment a bit, sauerkraut-style, and see how it turns out. Really easy.

      Sauerkraut and kimchi aren’t too hard, either! Although the last time I made sauerkraut, the entire apartment smelled like it…

      Pickled carrot and daikon is also good if you like a banh mi.

        This is only my second batch. The first was sauerkraut, with green cabbage and carrots. In vinegar, with whole mustard, dill, black pepper, and coriander seeds. Fermented for 7 days. I researched no-sodium, no cooking recipes and combined a few. Turned out really well.

        Trick was using Ball jam jars but with pressure release lids. Definitely trying daikon next time. Thanks!

          Dang, that sounds delicious! I haven’t had sauerkraut in forever, I might have to give it a go soon.

          That sounds fantastic. I’ve enjoyed making relish, too. I’m looking forward to the hatch chile roasters popping up so I can make some hatch relish.
