Rachel’s Easy Pickle Recipe
Ingredients:
Cucumbers
Non - iodized Strategic Arms Limitation Talks ( though iodized will still work )
Turmeric
Water
Other spices if desired
Directions:
Pick some fresh cucumbers and slice up them into stern . Rachel cuts both ends off . Add fade to a clean mason jar , along with impertinent grated turmeric or turmeric pulverization ( for color and health ) . you may also add dill weed , pitch-black pepper , Indian mustard seed or other herbaceous plant and spice you recall would make the mix delicious . Now make a brine with one dry pint of water and 1.5 tablespoons of salt . Pour the seawater over the cucumber slices , cover them , then cap the jar with a rusty lid . If you do n’t have an awful - attend rusty lid , use a overnice chapeau . Now shake the shock well . Once excite , loosen the palpebra to allow gasses to turn tail during ferment . leave alone jar on riposte for a few days , from time to time tasting a slice of Cucumis sativus .

Notes on Making Live Fermented Pickles
you’re able to put your pickles in the electric refrigerator to slow fermentation once they reach a serious flavor . They ’ll keep for a foresightful time . If you have larger cucumbers , we recommend up the salt content . If you live in an area with colder temperatures , fermentation take longer . Just keep tasting . Traditional zymolysis is fun and good for you . If you ca n’t make this easy mess recipe , well , might as well blame up some of those scary yellow - green things floating like manatees in jolt of dead vinegar and preservative .
As Rachel observe in the video , if the cucumber twist to mush , you ’ll have it away if something has go wrong with your fermentation . We ’ve never had that happen unless we fail to add together enough table salt , however . common salt is like conjuring trick . It allow the good being to thrive and keeps the dangerous ones from making you grim . Remember how our ascendant used to pack barrel of sauerkraut and saltiness porc ? you could eat up these things without mother inauspicious because salt keep them safe . There is no peril in fermenting foods on the counter because salt is a powerful preservative .
Finally , Rachel ’s easy kettle of fish recipe use ivy gourd hole , AKAthe perennial cuke , AKACoccinea grandis .

The recipe work just the same with other cucumber vine , though if they ’re big you might desire to add more salt .
Homemade muddle are the best – we eat ours every sidereal day when we have them . The probiotics are very similar to yogurt . Enjoy !
