GA Russell Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 ss1, I wondered in the past about canning. So many farm women do it, I figure it can't be that hard if you know what you are doing. I remember there was a great deal of interest in it leading up to Y2K. Let us know how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) It's the new hipster thing to do. Has anyone tried to ferment their own pickles before? I've done kimchi (still figuring it out) and sauerkraut (came out AWESOME) but just tried my first shot at dill pickles. No vinegar, just salt, spices, dill, garlic and veggies. I have one jar of cut cucumber spears, which came out...weird and slightly bitter. I think the Kirby cucumbers I used had grown too big and thick. Also have a jar of the same whole cucumbers, a jar of smaller Kirbys, and a jar of green tomatoes going. Haven't cracked them open yet though.

Chuck Nessa Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 So many farm women do it, I figure it can't be that hard if you know what you are doing. So, my grandmother, mother and wife are "farm women". Thanks for assuming "it can't be that hard". Ann has canned blueberry jam the last 2 weeks. She usually does about a dozen types but the weather has destroyed lots of crops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
