I think it was close to a week. We were following a recipe. Lid was on and in a cool/dark place. But they molded and got slimy instead of pickling. So we gave up on doin it that way and just use the hot pack canning method. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1410190 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 12:56:10 +0000 mrbee 1410190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Treytonsmom2011: just out of curiosity, how long did you leave the pickle jar out before putting it in the fridge? And did you have the lid on or off during that time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1410187 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 12:55:00 +0000 Treytonsmom2011 1410187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never had any luck using the lacto-fermentation method for pickles...they always ended up molding and getting disgusting instead of pickling like they were supposed to. Hopefully you have better luck since you make so much kimchi. We can a ton of cucumbers from our garden every year....made over 20 quarts of pickles last year but always with the vinegar based brine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1410181 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 12:43:39 +0000 blackbird 1410181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh duh I didn't even think of kimchi!</p> <p>Now I want kimchi cucumbers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1410150 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 12:04:48 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1410150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I don't think so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1410148 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 12:02:28 +0000 mrbee 1410148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Is it a Jewish deli?

I've made chutney (but never the other sort of pickle!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1409913 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 01:55:55 +0000 BSB 1409913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made a batch that was suppose to be claussen like. (Not boiled).</p> <p>I don't think it tasted quite like claussen but DH really liked them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1409890 Sun, 09 Feb 2014 00:39:01 +0000 Boogs 1409890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love pickles!

I like that the fresh cukes are crunchier than the store ones and look less artificial. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1409737 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 21:38:45 +0000 mrbee 1409737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: you can pickle with sea salt, water and garlic/spices... it's how a lot of kosher delis make pickles here in New York. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1409732 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 21:34:27 +0000 78h2o 1409732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom makes awesome pickles!

Pretty sure most brines for pickling has vinegar though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1409717 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 21:26:37 +0000 BananaPancakes 1409717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only make them when someone gives me cukes from their garden (since I don't like them any other way), but I pickled green beans and jalepenos from my garden last year. Are you canning or just refrigerating? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1409716 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 21:26:18 +0000 blackbird 1409716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How are you going to make pickles without vinegar? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-made-your-own-pickles#post-1409714 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 21:23:52 +0000 mrbee 1409714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going to make pickles with the kids tomorrow. I've made a lot of kimchi over the years, and the process is actually really similar. Hopefully the kids will enjoy the finished result! They've been loving pickles lately, but I don't like the store-bought ones with vinegar in the brine.</p> <p>Have you ever made your own pickles? Let us know if you have any tips... thanks! </p>
