  • My Friends this is the recipe for the WORLDS GREATEST cucumber "pickles"... and even the word "pickle" is misleading because these are in a league all by themselves as one of the greatest food stuffs to eat with nearly any meal. This is the next step in our fermentation journey so check it out and let me know how the experience works for you!

    Yes!!! Fermented food is so life sustaining! I lacto-ferment green beans using a similar recipe and they are my favorite! (A bit of black tea leaves will help them stay crunchy). I also ferment carrots with jalapeños and garlic, jars of various radishes and turnips, make my own fermented tobasco sauce. Preserve lemons in salt…kimchi, Sauerkraut. (I’m going to have to try your idea of adding some juniper berries next time). The jars keep more than a year and it’s so nice to open up a jar of summer ferments in the middle of January. Good stuff, Nate!

    More about fermenting please. I have made sauerkraut successfully. Absolutely delicious! Just cabbage and salt is how I like it. This year am struggling. First batch my fault ended up with black and pink mold because I did not use the proper lid. Next batch was slimy in the middle. I ran out of my garden cabbage so purchased cabbage from a farmers market. It was extremely dense and difficult to cut through. It had more of a radish hot taste than the sweet that I’m accustomed to. After a bit of research I’m thinking it may not have been fully ripe when it was harvested. Not sure if that would contribute to the sliminess in the middle or could I have packed a jar too tight? It did have liquid in it when I discarded it and was fully submerged but very dense with the cabbage in the jar. Could the weather have anything to do with this even though it’s being processed inside in air conditioning? Do you have any thoughts about what might’ve gone wrong?

    • @gardenlikeaviking
      @gardenlikeaviking  2 года назад +5

      it is very likely you had either not enough salt or an uneven distribution of the salt or too much salt.... one of those issues is the problem and it does not matter if the cabbage was ripe or not and it does not matter if you packed it very very tightly... it has to do with your recipe especially if you get pink mold thats a clear sign the salinity is off

    • @markie3394
      @markie3394 2 года назад +1

      @@gardenlikeaviking thank you! Both of these happened on first jar. Too much salt. Tried to fix next morning by remixing with more cabbage. That would make it uneven. The second batch was more cautious - measured salt correctly to the weight of cabbage the recipe called for. Maybe too little. It only had slime and a slight fowl smell, no mold. The jars “weeped“ during the first week. Did not open lid. Thought it was on loose enough because of weeping. Could that have contributed? Maybe too anaerobic? Successful jars weeped too but were regularly opened and cabbage pushed down to be sure it stayed submerged as others suggested. Thank you so much for addressing this. There are plenty of recipes and a few showing when ferments are bad saying ok to remove the white mold, black or pink mold makes the whole ferment bad but can’t find anything on what caused it to go wrong in first place and how to prevent.

I never saw mold on mine, and it smells fine, but when I try again, I will make sure it's not soft in the middle as you describe...since that doesn't sound good. Maybe an indication of rotting, eh?
