Rg, When you say a pickle plant is this a specific kind of cucumber which works better for pickling?We have tried pickles a few times, but they have not come out well.Thanks!
Looks yummy already DD!I'll be pickling tomorrow. Today I got the empty parts of the beds turned over and put in sugar snap peas, corvair spinach, some big leaf spinach and the first planting of radishes. My Son is coming over later to pitch some shoes. There might just be a Heineken and pickle test as well Rg
Refrigerator or processed?Secret recipe please, please?Rg
Ok, so what I do is pretty simple. I use Mrs. Wages as my base, but don't follow it to a T. I use less of the seasoning and vinegar and more water. So if I do a full packet = 10 pounds I do 3/4 of the seasonings 7/8ths of the vinegar and an extra cup of water. Then I throw 2 tablespoons of our dehydrated pepper blend, crushed red is half as hot, so use 2x as much. Then each jar gets 2 tsp of agave, and 1 of sugar. It says process 10 mins, I do 8. They don't last long enough to get bad. When I'm harvesting fresh peppers, Hungarian and Japs, I slice a half cup and throw them in in place of the dehydrated ones. The fresh peppers go in the jar with the pickles, the "En Fuego" goes in the brine to disperse the heat evenly I'm gonna play around with some fridge pickles next time.
