Cucumbers require a long growing season, and most are ready for harvest in 50 to 70 days from planting. The fruits ripen at different times on the vine, but it is essential to pick them when they are ready to avoid a bitter flavor that develops in cucumbers that are left on the vine too long.
The primary ingredient in pickles is cucumbers. Acetic acid, or vinegar, is added to the cucumbers. After water, vinegar makes up most of the pickle juice. It also adds to the pickles’ sour taste. Many people add sugar or artificial sweeteners as well. These offset some of the sour taste from the vinegar. Salt is also added for more flavor.
Over time, the cucumbers turn into pickles. The other ingredients make up the juice in which the pickles are stored. Particular types of pickles usually have other ingredients added. Some popular examples include dill weed (for dill pickles), allspice, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and garlic. Finally, colorants, preservatives, and stabilizers are often added. These can lengthen shelf life and increase consistency across batches.
