- Want delectable, crunchy pickles? If you have a precision cooker, you're set. Using your favourite pickle ingredients (or my recipe below!), you can pasteurize fresh cucumbers and make the pickles of your dreams!
My recipe:
5 garlic cloves, halved
fresh dill
1 tsp yellow mustard seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tbsp pickling salt
1/4 tsp pickle crisp (calcium chloride) - get it here: amzn.to/47V4rDw
As many cucumbers as you can jam in the jar
Top up with 50/50 mix of 5% acetic acid white vinegar with filtered water
Pasteurize via precision cooker at 150F for around 3 hours. Let sit in cool place for a couple weeks to hit maximum flavor, and then enjoy!
If you're looking for a precision cooker, I have the first edition of the Anova. A couple current options are:
amzn.to/47LrDE0
amzn.to/3P72nRf
Get Star San for sanitizing your jars: amzn.to/3UcUACR
Here's a similar mason jar funnel: amzn.to/4bbuF5r
Looks good
Thanks! So tasty. Also a great base line process to follow, where you can adjust your seasonings as you like. 😀
Commentson removing bands after they're cool? That's the way we gauge the "quality of the seal" here in the southern USA...
Totally! Yeah, I'm always a little afraid to take off the rings and leave them like that, especially as I often have the little ones going downstairs to grab jars for me. Odds are too high they would accidentally open something on me and just leave it down there. 🤣
Holy fuck I LOVE this channel.
Thanks! 😁
That certainly looked like Kosher salt rather than pickling salt. If I used a tablespoon of pickling salt, would that not make the jar too salty? The ratios don't translate from one type of salt to the other.
Hmm...I'm trying to see in the video. I'm pretty sure it was pickling salt. The kind I buy is sort of large-ish flat discs. I think that's what I'm seeing. I know the ratios are a little different, with you typically needing a little more kosher salt than pickling, volume-wise. I'm usually fairly approximate with the measurements in the pickles, so there's likely some leeway within my recipe for any of those ingredients, even the salt. Not sure if that helps at all or not! Thanks for the question. 😁
What is pickle crisp?
It's the brand name of the product from Ball...it's just calcium chloride, which helps keep the pickles firmer during processing. It's the secret weapon in making crispy pickles. I just updated my video description to clarify that. Thanks for the question! 😁
