Any pickle lovers browsing (especially pickled cucumbers)?

Everyone should have a large jar of pickles in their home to enjoy whenever they please.

Pickles are not cucumbers. This has already been debunked.

I'm looking into replicating the claussin brand pickles. it seems like they are "jarred" as opposed to "canned", no heat involved.
any anons have any tips? is pickling spice pretty similar across available brands?

The refrigerator currently has:
cucumber relish
pickled cucumbers
fermented cucumbers

Also have jars of another, sweeter, cucumber pickle in storage.

Any fresh homemade pickle should be as good or better than Clausen. Just do a basic pickling spice and use fresh dill.

That's why op said "specially pickled cucumbers", can't you read my son?

Last thing I did pickled was eggplant, pretty good for the first time I'm going to them again and correct the spices ratio

I don't have a recipe. I just know a lot of people that pickle because my friends family owns a farmers market and they have a whole section dedicated to it. Basically you buy pickling cucumbers, and put them in jars with white vinegar,, a bag of pickling spices and some fresh dill. Or you can make your own spice mix. Old hags don't exactly go around giving their pickle recipes away.

I bought a bit jar of sauerkraut today for the first time. That counts as pickle, right? It's kinda good, I will be used to it when the jar is finished. Don't really know what it goes with, I will just add some to every meal like a salad

>as good or better than Clausen
I'm specifically looking for the crunch that Clausen has, it seems the only way to achieve that is by using a no-heat method.
I've made a few batches by canning and they always turned out softer than I'd have liked

Why are you boiling your pickles?

[Anonymous No.14929312]

>>14929271
they're fridge pickles. you boil the brine to dissolve all of the salt but then you cool it and pour it over the cucumbers and stick them in the fridge for a couple of weeks and they're good to go. you have to keep them refrigerated unlike processed pickles.

My neighbors moved to Canada and let me raid their fridge and pantry, and I found an unopened jar of bread and butter pickles. I'd heard a lot about them so I was pretty hyped to try them out.

They were pretty fucking good. Gotta try and make some.

Not that anon but depends on the whatever you are doing, I don't boil cucumbers but I do boil eggplant or cauliflower before pickling it

100%.
Making my own at the end of the week with California Reapers in the jar.

i wanted to be sure they lasted. if you submerge the jars into boiling water for about 5 mins, they can last around a year i had a metric fuck ton from growing cucumbers last year, ended up making at least 40 jars of pickles.

[Anonymous No.14929389]

>>14929312
that's what most of the recipes i've been looking up involve, thanks for the tip. i guess they only last a few months, even refrigerated?
>>14929317
sounds nice, i'm planning on using some Trinidad scorpions i grew this year, but they didn't get as hot as i thought they would

anyone have a particular pickle spice blends/brands they suggest using?

[Anonymous No.14929398]

>>14929389
I've been told by some people that they last over half a year but I always eat them too quickly. you can reuse the brine a few times

[Anonymous No.14929689]

In the last few months, my friend and I have been pickling stuff. Up until now we have made pickled

Shallots
Eggs
Garlic cloves
Peppers
Baby cucumbers
Cherry tomatoes
Radish
Cauliflower

We've mixed it up using different vinegars with each one. Cherry tomatoes in cider vinegar is my current favourite.

Deer and rabbit are so damn good pickled if you can get yourself some of those meats I highly recommend you, carpincho (capibara) is good too but they dont live in your country probably

[Anonymous No.14929717]

>>14929706

I've never considered pickling meat. I'm in the UK. Sounds good though, I'll try it. Deer is easy to obtain where I live.

[Anonymous No.14929742]

>>14929717
Do it with some vegetables like carrot, bell pepper, onion and cabbage is a nice treat and it highlights the taste of it (
at least for me) I mostly had bought it so I can't give you a recipe but it shouldn't be hard to find one

Pickled Onions are the best.

Not cocktail onions.

But a full size spanish onion.
