I share a birthday with this magnificent brine and I am honoured ❤️❤️

[@reekahstinks]

Happy birthday!

[@juditab2]

Your videos inspired me to order a pickle jar and give fermenting a try. The pickled radishes are a complete revelation!

[@distort89]

Same. My pickling jar just came in this morning. I just got it filled up and now the waiting game begins. Will have to experiment with a variety of ingredients to get it to my liking.

[@markb8944]

You don't want to use tap water with fluoride or chlorine. You don't want iodized salt either. they will kill the healthy bacteria. I started my first pickle jar yesterday and it is already bubbling and smelling amazing.

[@MzKitka]

Hi! I have not started mine bc I'm legit scared of poisoning my family haha. Could you tell me how you know if the jar has gone bad? I would like to make this, but I have no barometer to knowing if the look and smell is safe. I've never smelled a "healthy" one before. Do you know what danger signs to look for? Thanks!

[@markb8944]

@@MzKitka The salt in the brine keeps things really well. It's a very safe way to pickle. If you get black or blue mold in it, that's a sign it's bad, or if you get an off odor. Use fresh organic produce and keep your hands out of it. Use clean utensils.

[@anomouse2271]

She’s amazing. I started two jars two months ago and we use the pickles for everything even just as a snack. Thank you!

[@im._.shxnice]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PICKLE BRINE!!

[@reverlyevans-higgins5357]

On another video I asked for this recipe, thank you for all your efforts. My grandmother use to pickle everything, she would make one pickle called Chow chow that we ate with greens and black-eyed peas. I'm going to try your method to make her Chow chow.

[@TheGershon]

Once I have my own kitchen (without roommates) I'm definitely going to make a big one of these. I'll definitely use a lot of the vegetables you have here but I'm curious to see what other kinds will work well like jalapeños, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, string beans etc. What do you have to do to maintain it regularly besides replacing the water? & how often?

[@rivenblake8220]

I think the recipe and the instructions to maintain it are all in her cookbook

[@rkng1]

My son and I do lactofermentation. You can ferment almost all vegetables and many fruits. Generally better results with pure Kosher or pickling salt. The iodine added to table salt inhibits fermentation. Filtered, distilled or boiled water tend to be better as most tap water has chlorine which can inhibit fermentation and may cause an "off" taste. It generally works out to one tablespoon of salt to 2 to 3 cups of water. Your brine should taste salty like getting a mouthful of ocean water. As the vegetables ferment, the lactobacillus organisms should start converting the natural sugars in the vegetables and your brine will get a sour taste like yogurt and kombucha. Kombucha actually ferments with the same bacteria. I haven't tried it, but if you or a friend have a kombucha culture going, you can probably add a generous spoonful to your vegetable ferment to give it a head start. You may want to start with a wide mouth Mason jar, pickle weights and the Mason top pickle covers. Sold on Amazon or at Mason Tops.com. MasonTop.com makes a Silicon lid with a nipple that allows your ferment to breath. Those pretty glass jars that she was demonstrating are easy to fill but hard to get the vegetables out of. Mason jar or old fashioned ceramic crock with large enough opening to stick your hand in is my recommendation.

[@OfficiallySarabi]

Just a heads up, i would recommend adding asparagus to its own separate jar or else the strong flavor will make everything else taste like asparagus lol. I've never seen pickled tomatoes before 🤔

[@TragicallyDelicious]

@@rkng1 I havent had any trouble using my chopstix

[@TragicallyDelicious]

Happy birthday pickle brine

[@larrysmith9315]

Just received your cook book and my pickling jar from Amazon today can’t wait to get started!❤

[@g.h.7661]

I love fermented food, including fermented pickles, but I didn’t know it was this simple to make them at home. Vinegar/brine pickling requires sanitizing already, I can’t imagine how one can keep everything safe when no acid is used & youre planning to just leave it on the shelf! Amazing skill & technique as always, love your inspiring content!

[@codename495]

The fermentation process creates lactic acid, bringing the PH to safe levels. Sanitation is to inhibit bacteria while the PH is coming up.

[@rmm39172]

Happy birthday, Pickle brine!!!!!!!

[@ratatatat7173]

Hello, thank you for great content, really enjoy your channel! Question for you, So I tried making my jar of pickle veg. About 3 or 4 days on the shelf I opened the lid and use tongs and grab a veg, and I noticed that the brine is very viscous. The research I found said it's not dangerous, and even that it could go away.. have you experienced this? I'm still not sure what caused it. Thank you for your time!

[@Preschool4yo-7yo]

I also have on my mind your pickle gigantic glass jar show. It seems like one of rituals for wants. Ask you as a favor mine too. Of course including teaching cooking and academical book you written which are i love.

I made a brine of my own thanks to your videos. It tastes amazing. I do have a small question for you. The bottom of my pickle jar has a fine brownish substance. Have you seen that before and what could it be? Is it expected or is something possibly wrong? I use Sea Salt and Rock Sugar, and the vegtables are the same as yours.

[@TragicallyDelicious]

That 'sediment' at the bottom. is spent carbs ;)

[@Ranunkel121]

I really would like to start with the pickling brine... Could I use some other fermentation jar? I already have the fermentation lids for the ball mason jars. My two classic waterlock fermentation pots are occupied by my sauerkraut....

You can use those :)

(My sister lives not far from where you are. No, thanks! She and her husband have lived there many years happily! I wish the same for you and your family!) Thanks for this fantastic video - I learned lots!

[@jonathansfavorites]

I bought your book because I thought that I was going to get a more in-depth look at your pickling process... I didn't. It was basically the video which was free.. I hope I like the other recipes. I guess my main questions were.. do szechuan pickles need to be refrigerated? That's a huge jar. I lactoferment a lot of veggies and they all take up jars in my fridge.. I have a whole "pickle" shelf. Is this lactofermentation.. it seems so, but I don't put alcohol in mine.

Great video!I bought one of those glass jars,just not sure how to wash or how to make pickle,I cant have alcohol at all.

[@joeyphillips5248]

Love the video but I'm confused by the Morton's salt. You can't use iodized salt for fermentation, iodine kills it. Vodka was interesting, would think it would kill the bacteria too?

[@nukenfizz3294]

It’s because its not in iodine form it’s in the salt form

[@potatosauce]

Not all Morton table salt is iodized. The iodized version says "Morton Iodized Salt" on the label, and that container just says "Morton Salt", so it's fine to use.

[@Kitanna.]

Do you think I can add kombucha to help ferment the vegetables as well? It has a lot of beneficial bacteria as well

[@Levi-he6nj]

I have used vinegar for a while now bc I was underage and it pickled faster. It's still pretty good. But finally I am old enough and can buy some normal vodka🤣

[@VagabondPenguins]

Hey! I’m from Clermont! (It’s near Orlando). I wish I could get some brine 😩 if nothing else, so I know I’m getting the flavor balance right 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve been trying this for 2 years and I still feel like I don’t know what I’m doing 😄

[@justinsundstrom9418]

Yasss found you! Ordering book. Do you have an amazon list we can buy from?

[@406landon]

I love pickled eggs and even pickled shrimp and have only done them via vinegar pickling. You mentioned oils will kill the brine and I was wondering if you have you ever added proteins (i.e. eggs or Shrimp) with any success? I’m just starting my fermentation pickling journey.

[@OfficiallySarabi]

I've noticed Sichuan food uses dry brining for proteins. Typically some combination of ground chili, LOTS of salt, and cooked (usually also fermented) sticky rice

No oil allowed, but what about the natural oils on your hands when you grab pickles? (Another video says it's traditional to use your hands) Just a different thing altogether?

[@nikkyro03]

Hello hello.... when you started, first you put the salt in the jar and it was empty. Next you added the peppercorns and peppers and stuff but at that point there was a small amount of liquid in there with the salt and spices and such. What liquid and how much? Was it just water?? Asian food is my favorite. I need a good recipe for singapore rice noodles. Sadly, the best ones around me are from wegmans grocery store, not even a chinese take out restaurant. Also i need to see you make a good shrimp lo mein, mongolian beef, orange shrimp and those pf changs lettuce wraps...lol. if any tho I am dying for that singapore rice noodle recipe.

You can pickle any vegetable that is firm enough to not mash to nothing and that you can safely eat raw. Cucumbers, tomatoes, pea pods…. If it’s safe to eat raw and doesn’t turn to mush it’s game.
