Fermented Half Sours 🥒🥒

[pkadare]

Put up a gallon jar of half sours this morning using this recipe from Serious Eats (scaled up). These are some big cukes, but I love the jumbo pickles you get in real delis, so win/win!
Only had one left over that I just couldn't squish into the jar from the basket I got this morning.

Thanks for this. I love me some pickles.

I'll let you know how they turn out in 3 to 7 days :-)

Fermentation is definitely happening on day 3. Should be ready to eat in another couple of days!

Awesome. Can't wait to hear about the results. We are huge (full) sour pickle fans and always have a container of them in our fridge.

Have been tempted to ferment my own but haven't pulled the trigger. Then again there is a pickle stand at my local farmers market that does killer old school sour pickles that keeps us in fully supply so haven't really need to. I did just pickup a pint of jalapenos yesterday from the farmers market and decided to ferment them with the ultimate goal of making a hot sauce. Not sure exactly what it will include but for now jalapenos, a carrot and some garlic is fermenting.

Yum! I have a batch of curry cauliflower fermenting right now. First time trying it. Just did a batch of sauerkraut. What kind of cucumbers do you use for the half sours?

These weren't labeled but I'd guess they are Kirby's. Any pickling cuke will work though.
