I wait crouched in the corner rubbing my hands together like a fly or a dramatic supervillain laughing to myself as I wait for my cucumbers to sufficiently pickle.

So. I love pickles. Pickled anything and I’m there. Carrots, cucumbers, onions, green beans, beets, eggs, Mr. Disgruntled jokingly says I run on vinegar. And they’re expensive. Especially since my faves come from a local farmstand and they close for the season from December to April. (It was a hard winter when I didn’t buy extra last year lol) Despite this, I’ve never made pickles myself. Even quick fridge pickling!
I was away on vacation all last week. While gone I had had a thought to make a burger called “I Like Pickles”. It would have dill pickle chips, pickled red onions, and a pickled garlic aioli. I told my husband about it and said “sounds tasty! You can literally make that” and I was like holy shit I COULD make that. And that set off a pickling hyperfixation.
We got home yesterday, I have 3 more days off before I go back to work. Red onions, cucumbers and garlic are now quick pickling in my fridge.
Hopefully these are good and I can save some money, and unlock a new hobby!
A little while ago I made some fridge pickles
These guys.
Well they've sat a little longer than need to so tonight we popped them open to try~
They were a little salty, not super crisp. But firm. Taste wise will make again. Has been like by all, so will use the recipe and time wait again.
The jalapeno was similar texture. Good taste.
The onions honestly I feel shone through in texture and taste. I want to amend 2 jars of that for snacking, with jalapeños for hot dog and sandwhich topping, haha.
🌱🥒Happy homesteading and Happy pickling/fermenting! 🥒🌱
