Preserve Your Cucumbers the Old-Fashioned Way | Fermented Pickles
There are plenty of different ways to make pickles, and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all at one point or the other... BUT, this method is the most nutrient-packed way to preserve your cucumbers for later, as it turns them into a jar of tangy, probiotic goodness. Plus, you don't have to heat up your kitchen or use any special equipment!

This is similar to an old Polish way of preserving vegetables, like cucumbers, carrots, cauliflowers etc. You just need water, salt, dill, garlic and horseradish. And those last several years in the basement, not to mention their great health benefits :) greetings from Poland :)

Excellent video. If you soak the pickles (before putting them in jars) in cold water x2 (change the water twice) for an hour or so, it will add to the crisp crunch.

I always use rye bread on the top to keep the pickles below the rim and submerged in brine. My Hungarian grandmother showed me how to make them 50 years ago.
"it looked a little funny -- so I gave it to the kids." Hillarious. I have never preserved pickles with way. Thanks for the information, I will definitely try this out.

The tannings in the bay leaf help keep the pickles crisp if you are out of them you can also use a grape leaf. I also place cabbage leaf on top of the cucumbers in order to keep them from raising up out of the brine.
Thank you. I look forward to using this method. I would like to mention regarding your statement about leaving your municipal water sitting out over night to dechlorinate it. Most municipal water systems now use chloramines instead of just chlorine. They mix ammonia with the chlorine which makes it more stable, and sitting out over night will not do the trick.

Just coming back in here to let you know that i did a jar up this way a couple weeks ago and they are DE-LISH! Nice way for a grandma to make a jar or two at a time when the cucs from her little greenhouse are ready. Yummy and so nice to know they're pro-biotic goodness. Thank you, Jill!
I miss your weekly videos but I'm excited to see what you are planning. Thank you for all the helpful information.
I love it. “It looked a little funny so I gave it to the kids”. HYSTERICAL and so serious! I love you.
You are a life saver. So simple. So easy & no canning. YES! 👍
Thank you for another great video! I feel so much more confident making new things after watching you.
"Old fashioned on purpose" got You a new subscriber! I am so glad I found Your channel, going to check all the recipes now. These pickles are so good and crunchy, very delicious freshly pickled at around day 3 to 5. My mom used to add lots of dill, aromatic leaves like currants, garlic and black peppercorns.
Thanks a bunch. You took the fear of making pickles for me. Love the way you explain it. Helps me a lot. Will be trying this out for sure. 😊🌷
These are awesome, thanks so much, Jill.
Love it! This is how I pickle my cucumbers and jalapenos. ♥️ Just ate my first cucumber of the year 👍
Mom used to can many jars of dill pickles every year and I was her helper. I don't remember the recipe but she grew all the ingredients, even the dill, garlic, and red peppers. They were crunchy and delicious. Thanks for posting, brought back some good memories.
We make tons of fermented pickles. SO much better. We use the Ball fermenting lids and springs. They have the vent and the spring to hold them down. We started in a 5 gal. bucket with an air lock, but using the 2 qt jars with the fermenting lid is much easier and lets you do smaller batches which helps when trying to keep up with cucumbers in the midst of a busy schedule. One thing we add that you didnt is either horseradish leaves or grape leaves as a cover on the top. Helps keep everything under the brine and really ups the crunch.

So do bay leaves
We just tried our fermented veggies that were put together a few weeks ago & they turned out great!
Thank you for the video Jill. I grow heirloom cucumbers in my garden to make pickles and this looks like a great recipe. Im going to try it this year. Awesome kitchen too! Would love a quick video tour if you ever had a chance.
4 cups (1quart) is 192 teaspoons. 1 tablespoon is 3 teaspoons. 3 divided by 192 equals 1.56% salt, not 2%. When I ferment hot peppers for hot sauce, I use 2 tablespoons of salt per quart. I like to get the salt percentage above 3, just to be on the safe side.
You are one of my all time favourite youtubers!!! I saw you wayyyyyy back in the “real food for busy people” videos (you made raw cream ice cream) and I love that you show real life (no strange ASMR false hopes about easy breezy homesteading)
Really love how you do the next level up steps!
Very informative! I have made fermented cabbage a few times in the past and since I am expanding my veggie garden for next year I am inspired to take up fermenting again as one of my preserving methods.
My mother used to make a type of pickle called sun pickles. She set up just like you did and set the jars outside in partial sun for four to six hours a day for about a week. It was a lot of work but the pickles were fantastic.

love this. Not intimidating to those of us new to these domestic diva projects. Thanks for the simplicity.
So I am sitting, searching the web for a deal on glass weights. In Canada they are over $5.00. I had a creative session with my self, on how to keep the food under the solution. I am a stain glass artist with a lot of clear glass - I cut a circle and a bunch of squares to put on top to push down on the glass circle. I also tried an oval that fits in to the jar, turn it horizontal and it is locked in... the cost to me $0.00 I just came up with this a few days back and I am finding the circles and squares work better and they are always perpendicular to the lid. Just putting this out there...
Exactly the recipe I was searching for, thank you. Subscribed 🥒

I'm excited to try this. Great video!

Your video was very helpful I was watching so many videos and I was so confused until I came across yours and it help me understand what I really want it in my pickles. Thank you
Hello. I take stylus in hand to write and let you know I watched your video two weeks ago from today. I used pickling cucumbers from my garden and made my own pickles. I did (exactly) as you did in your video. I was scared and skeptical because it was my first time. I opened a jar and ate tonight, oh my gosh! So-o-o good! Excellent with hamburgers! I wish I could show you a picture of my finished product. I love the garlic taste. I wrote your recipe down per verbatim. I am looking forward to repeating your recipe in the future. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to fermintated canning because of you. Smiles I hope only to get better as I repeat every year. Your the best teacher. Thank you so much for being on KZread. Have a nice Summer. 6/20/22 Monday

I want to try this! I usually can pickles but haven't ever tried this method. We had a ton of rain so I wasn't able to pick cucumbers for a few days and when I finally did they were absolutely HUGE!!!! 😂
Thank you for showing us this. I am new to the mountains and started my 1st garden..I have corn, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, and my cucumbers are growing..I made my first home grown salad for my wife and I..unfortunately tomatoes are not ready yet...any way..I want to pickle a few cucumbers..From what I seen,I don't need to vacuum seal the lid while it fitments??..i love gardening especially when everything is growing...It taste so different..so much better..used no chemicals at all....just fertilizer when I planted.... So stoked
Another way to use up huge cucumbers and one of my favorites is to peel, cut out the seeds and cut in 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick slices. Egg wash and flour just like if you were frying green tomatoes. I actually like them a bit better 😊

@@lunaticgaming7967 Agriculture is destroying the planet. It is very frustrating how much miss information there is on this topic. Grazing can actually sequester far more carbon than forests at a much, much faster rate. If we grazed animals on a large enough scale, we could actually mitigate all human emissions. Growing plants can not do this. Plant agriculture uses massive amounts of fossil fuels and unlike grazing cattle, it doesn't mitigate its own emissions. The soil microbiome is killed with chemicals and that dead soil is lost rapidly, causing complete land infertility and desertification. Grazing animals is the fastest way to replenish these lands, bring the microbes back, give nutrients back, rehydrate, break up impaction, and build soil faster than any other process. It would take nature decades to build the amount of soil made in a couple of yrs of Grazing.
That is what I am talking about. Real pickles are easy and chock full of good stuff! Fermented veggies are hands down the best.
You can juice cucumbers and freeze it to drink in winter
Cool. Thanks.

I’m told adding bay leaves into the jar adds crunchiness. Canned a few today to see if that is the case.
Can you can them after they ferment? Your video is amazing and super clear! I can’t wait to try it!
love your shirt jill !!!!!
I was curious to know if you have ever used a "refractometer" to make the brine. I have a salt water fish tank so I decided to test it on store bought pickle brine. Turns out it was about the same salt content as sea water 1.026 or 35 ppt.
This looks like a healthier version of pickling, if you have the refrigerator space. Long term shelf stable would be what I use otherwise. Trying this is one my bucket list...I'm not familiar with fermenting/preservation yet. Thanks for the information.
Hey Jill do you leave the netting over your garden all during garden season? I love the looks of it and wondered if the shade it creates hurts the growth of your veg's?
I do fermented corn in 5 gallon buckets, it’s excellent.
Thanks
Being in Canada, that's my go to in fermenting older Cucumbers. You can remove the seeds and add long cut slices of peppers and carrots. The carrots are so good. Make sure to smash your garlic.
Fennel is good indeed
