I am making Pickles for the first time. The In-Laws grow Dill, Garlic, Cucumbers and we got a load in abundance.
So I found a recipe for Crunchy dills in a crock.
Pickling Salt
Distilled Water
Peppercorns
Fresh Dill and Dill Pods
Garlic Cloves
So, I am to put the herbs and spices on the bottom of the crock, put the cukes on top of that, then add the water and salt mixture.
It then says wait 3 days, keeping the crock in a cool, shady place.
On the 3rd day, I am to skim off any foam or slime that forms, and do this every day for 7 days.
It then says to cover them and toss them in the fridge.
Does this sound like an appropriate recipie?
I ask because it's day 4 now, and I've tried a pickle, and it tastes just like a cucumber.
Quoting: Greg_B.if you want the best dills you ever ate, yes, do this. if you are not tasting a change yet, then perhaps it is too cool, and the micro organisms are not growing. You did not cover the crock did you? it needs the bacteria and yeasts from the air.
