When I do the mustard pickle they (after cooked) go into the crock to sit covered of course for 2 months + +before they go in jars and in the fridge<br />Note to all those potters out there ..

Last year I turned fully half of the garlic harvest that my hubby had grown into a garlic paste that was so bland it didn't even make a decent piece of garlic bread. So disappointing when that kind of thing happens.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562989307286675615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4910119039372896091.post-11308545222032759602011-08-18T23:19:14.665-04:002011-08-18T23:19:14.665-04:00Crushing.

Brine is brine and pickling is pickling I would think.. You can make either Brine and try just boiling for a few minutes (5 maybe?) to seal.. <br /><br />Babci's Dill Pickles<br /><br />6 pints water<br />1 pint vinegar<br />7 full tablespoons salt<br />boil for brine<br /><br />in each jar put<br />2 heads dill<br />pepper<br />clove of garlic<br />pinch of pickling spices<br /><br />pack jars, add brine, boil jars until cucumbers change colour or are slightly yellowed (about 5 minutes)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Pickled Beets<br /><br />2 cups cider vinegar<br />1 cup water<br />2 tsp salt<br />½ tsp pepper<br />boil for brine<br /><br />boil beets for 15-20 minutes and then place directly in cold water.<br />Skin beets<br />slice them and put them in jars<br />add to each jar cloves, cinnamon and allspice<br />add brine<br />boil jars for 15 minutes<br /><br />or there's this website.. <br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A655535<br /><br />My guess is your brine recipe needs a switch up. <br />What MIGHT be fun to try (and look weird) would be to use a red wine vinegar... now THAT would be excellent with beef.. <br />Of course the best thing to do would be to hunt down your grandmothers recipes, try them all, and label them so you know which one is right.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128679620373137468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4910119039372896091.post-75335696623242977102010-11-08T10:22:56.194-05:002010-11-08T10:22:56.194-05:00Sorry to hear about the pickled onions...but your ...Sorry to hear about the pickled onions...but your photos are fabulous.

I love pickled onions too. My grandma used to make them, but her recipes were all in her head, nothing was ever written down. I wish they had been though...she made the best homemade things...bread was her speciality.<br /><br />If you ever do find a "keeper" of a recipe...post it!!Meelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416420120054309702noreply@blogger.com
