Fermenting Pickles

Fermenting Pickles

How to Ferment Cucumbers



If you like dill pickles, you love this recipe. This episode of Back to the Homestead starts out with a short demo of what wild fires in Southwestern Idaho can look like...a small one...but nonetheless a wild fire (as seen from the homestead).

Then we discuss how to ferment cucumbers by using lacto fermentation. We'll take the fermentation process from harvesting from the garden to the week after the process has started and the taste test.

Recipe:

Small and medium cucumbers with no blemishes
Peppers (Mild, Medium or Hot)
Garlic
Dill (or Dill Seed)
Brine

Brine: 1 gallon of water to 12 tablespoons (not teaspoons) of sea salt (or kosher salt).

  1. Do you let the freshly packed cucumbers sit on the counter (if so, at what temp and amount of light) or do you fridge right away? I make fridge pickles through the more modern method of salt water/vinegar solution and would like to try this. Please email your response to me at c_coulter04@yahoo.com. Thanks

    1. This method is similar to salt/water/vinegar except you don't have the vinegar as a preservative...the lactobacillus is your "preservative." After packing your pickles in the jar with the salt water brine, leave them on the counter top for about a week in a home kept at around 70 degrees (give or take 5 degrees). You could leave them out longer if you want them more "tangy." At first the brine is crystal clear. Later in the week it will "cloud" up. Some of the pickles may even have a white substance that will settle on them. No problem. I refrigerate my pickles after a week or so. It is said that they will last a year in the fridge; I have never had a batch last that long...they got eaten up too fast. Good luck.

  2. Found that the treatment of multiple myeloma drug Revlimid latest efficacy

    Revlimid (lenalidomide) developed by Celgene Corporation for the treatment of fatal blood diseases. Recently, Celgene Corporation, said, found that the treatment of multiple myeloma drug Revlimid latest efficacy, according to the survey, received a stem cell transplant in patients with multiple myeloma after treatment with Revlimid, can reduce the risk of relapse of 58%. This finding is significant, because the latest experimental results further confirm Revlimid can be used as maintenance therapy drug, and are applicable to those who have previously used other medications or had undergone stem cell transplant patients.

    Previously, Revlimid and dexamethasone have been approved for use, treatment for at least one drug was used over multiple myeloma patients. The latest research project by the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) conducted, the researchers obtained from experimental data and safety monitoring results showed that patients in the fight against disease progression after treatment effects reached statistical aspects of a significant level.

    Earlier this month, Celgene also announced a experimental data show that the single standard drugs (melphalan and prednisone) compared to using Revlimid + standard drug Revlimid after the turn of treatment alone in delaying disease progression aspects of the effect is more good.

    If Revlimid can be used as maintenance therapy in the treatment of multiple myeloma, and is approved as first-line treatment of the disease drug, the sales expected to grow from $ 1.7 billion this year, up from 2013's $ 3.6 billion. Some foreign analysts expect, Revlimid sales will boost treatment for multiple myeloma drug market growth.

  3. I live in Florida. Can I leave the pickles out on the counter? There is no way the house will be 70 even with the air on. Usually 77 or so. We sure can get these cukes and I would love to try the recipe.
