You need to also trim off the blossom ends. They contain enzymes that soften pickles.

Here’s a tested, guaranteed safe recipe for such pickles from the National Center for Home Food Preservation. http://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_06/dill_pickles.html

That’s treat the ferments are going great and that tomato paste added good flavour! Pickling and summer go hand-in-hand.

Came back to tell you that I cracked into one of the three ferments that I made this weekend. I like to let them sit for a week or two but since I was out, I wanted to open one and wow, I loved the addition of the tomato paste.

Come summer though, I will have to give pickling a go.

That’s wonderful. I love it. Because of you I took my old jalapeno juice and just stuck the Canadian cukes in the leftover. So yum.

I’m big into fermenting. Today, I get to taste the jars I made over the weekend. I like to taste them as the good bacteria gets going. Yum.

It really is quite a tradition, isn’t it? My mom wouldn’t do canning very often, she just loved making her own pickles, LOL. Sometimes she would make them daily!

Pickling is so great to eat. My grandparents pickled all kinds of things and boy, are they ever happy memories. Good stuff, Suzie.

Thanks Debra! I think the trick to getting that deli flavour is the pickling spices combo.
