DougH Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Does any one have any recipees for the pickles that they normally give you to snack on in the NY/Jewish style deli's. I absolutely love these, and the Nathans / Ba Tempte ones in the store are $$$. They also get real cloudy real fast unless I eat them at a unhealthy rate! There is Reins Deli in CT by me, but they put some sort of chem. in there brine that gives it a my first chemistry set taste. The cucumber plants (conviently a pickling strain) that I put in the garden this year have taken over. (next year they get there own plot, silly me). I have a bumper crop that needs to be put to use!

Steve in Mass Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 In the fridge straight from the garden? Yes..........give them at least a couple hours to chill, if not overnight, and then make the pickles..........

Yes..........give them at least a couple hours to chill, if not overnight, and then make the pickles.......... still pack them in ice and waiting a day or two after you pick them will make them less bitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougH Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 If the rain slows I am going to pick another batch and give this a try. Thanks for all of the tips and the recipee link! Do you think I can go without slicing them in lengthwise? I am wondering if I can pickle them whole as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pickle them whole (be sure to cut off each end), but halves are better, as you don't have to wait as long for the "pickle" to penetrate thru the cuc.

DougH Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I have been stuck working 14 hour days on some tax returns so I haven't gotten around to the pickles yet. I think I will make up a batch tonight so the cukes I had on ice don't go to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve in Mass Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Groby wanted to know, so........ I tried one out of the batch I made with the mustard powder on 8/31 last night, and if I do say so myself, it was "interesting" and quite good. Has quite a zing, almost as if horseradish had been used. So I would say the experiment was a resounding success "You know the Bill of Rights is serving its purpose when it protects things you wish it didn't."

Voldemars Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 These come pretty close, especially with the tweek I suggested: http://www.stripersonline.com/surfta...%27s+pickle s I have used a recipe similar to this but put all in a LARGE jar, open in a WARM area for 7-10 days to ferment. Then strain the liquid, repack in smaller jars, cover with the strained liquid and then refrigerate. Google "crock pickles" for details. very simple and tastes GREAT. v.
