What's Your Favorite Fermented Pickle Recipe?

I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew.

After trying out fermenting last year with a Starter Kit from Fermentools, I was excited to try more. Sadly, though, I lost some pieces to our kit. Thus, I was thrilled when I was offered a chance to review the Starter Kit again and have already begun exploring with it.

Just like our last kit did, the one I was sent this time came with quality products mostly sourced in the United States.

• a custom-made glass weight which fits inside wide-mouthed mason jars,

• salt which dissolves easily for fermenting,
  
  
  

• a corrosion-resistant stainless steel lid that is said to last a lifetime,

• a high-quality rubber gasket canning ring,

• an instructtion/recipe pamphlet,

• and an airlock that works so you don't have to remember to burp your ferment.

It's an effective and well made little kit!


My Latest Fermentools Experiment

Not long after receiving our newest Fermentool kit, I realized I had some cucumbers leftover from a gathering that were not getting scarfed down here. So I decided to experiment with them, some flowering-and-going-to-seed dill, some garlic scaped, and brine.

I simply put the cut up cucumber spears in a small jar with the herbs, mixed up some brine, topped the cucumber-herb mixtrue with it, and then put the weight and gasket, lid, and airlock on.

I poured some water into the gasket and, then, put the jar into a cabinet for several days.

The color changed some, of course, when the ferment was happening, and, then it was time for taste testing.

My kids said the pickles were "strong" and "different", but "not bad, just different". They asked that I use a "real recipe" next time. So, here I am asking YOU for your favorite tried-and-true one. Please leave a comment to let me know what it is. For I liked our fermented pickles well enough, but would like something even better. And, honestly, our Fermentools kit makes trying out fermented recipes so easy that I am ready to try more tried-and-true recipes and experiments.

It's truly an easy process! No need for me to figure out brine formulas nor "burp" jars. Easy peasy and nutritious.  That's my kind of thing!
