A place to share what you're cooking and eating on Farcaster.

Doing some quick pickling with the veggies from the backyard garden. We’ve got string beans, jalapenos and cucumbers. 

Cut em up. 
Place in jars.
Add some garlic cloves, dill and other spices. I went with fennel seed, dill seed and some peppercorns. 

Bring vinegar, water, sugar and salt to a simmer and then pour brine to fill the jars. 

Bring to room temp, put the lids on, and place in fridge.

So you don’t finish the jars in a submerged boil? With your method how long is there shelf life?

Good question and I’m but actually sure. Internet says anywhere from a week to 2 months stored in the fridge this way. They usually get eaten up with in a week or two.

I think they do- I haven’t added other veggies to jalapenos before, but I had some extra carrot and added that. I assume it will all be spicy but I’ll see when I eat them :)

I made pickles for the first time a week ago and I agree they don’t last long. I did finish them in a 30 min boil with a 24 hr rest before long term storage. I think they will last years this way. If your method needs to be refrigerated then I would have 20+ jars clogging up my fridge. Also, do the jalapeños impart their spice onto the rest of the items in the jar?
