Did you add any sugar to it?
aug 19, 2025, 6:12 am • 1 0 • view
The pickling liquid is cider vinegar + brown sugar and the spices - so yes.

I'm working on a batch of Bike Path Apple jelly. Already did four cases of Bike Path Service Berry jelly. (I harvest the berries right on the bike path). I am thinking about harvesting a bunch of choke cherries today...saw a bunch on the path yesterday.

I will delay mine to see if a foodMuse taps me. Bonneted Chefs run in my family. I nearly became a Chef.

I make my own pickling spices but essential ones you mentioned sound great. I use a few cracked Balinese LongPeppers in my recipe

I pickle red onion similarly often, and you gotta try cutting the onion the other way; pole to pole. Like this pic, but as thin as you can/want. I find the texture better and less onion flavor ends up in the vinegar (it stays in the onion)

I used a mandoline but will try your suggestion next time - thanks!

alchemist!!! That light blue glow just under the lid... World domination through food, I suppose that there are worse ideas.
aug 19, 2025, 9:13 am • 1 0 • view
There's actually a vented rubber gasket on top, it's blue, hence the glow - but I thought it looked pretty cool. As for world domination, eh - if called, I will answer 😉

To get everything under the liquid, I find filling a baggie with water and sitting it on top works well, or of course just give it a shake every day or so seems to be adequate for short term storage stuff Sounds yummy! 😋

…and it’s a quick pickle, so I will be giving it a shake every day or so too. Hoping they’re good for this coming weekend when we have people coming over 😎

I’ve got a polish sarsage and some kraut I may do tomorrow. I may fire up the smoker and drink 101 in celebration of the temps and smoke a Boston butt.

Should be good! I like to reuse leftovers brines, and I find that helps kick-start things, That is not an official health & safety recommendation 😄 Unless my kids tossed it, I have a brine from a few months ago in my fridge with nothing in it, just waiting
aug 18, 2025, 9:05 pm • 2 0 • view
Snap! You reminded me - the quick pickling kit came with glass weights to hold the food down. Now installed - thanks for the memory jog!!! I like the brine saving idea - has to keep getting more complex over time!
aug 18, 2025, 9:08 pm • 2 0 • view
It does develop over time, but again not health & saftey approved 😅 You can always sterilize brine by pasturizing but of course then lose the microbes The baggie trick works well, or you can use a piece of cabbage Ball also makes plastic Mason jar lids with a spring attached, they're a bit much
