These crispy spears have a slightly salty, tart flavor with a good balance of dill, garlic and peppers. They are already great and have only sat for 2 weeks in the brine! My family is requesting I make as many as possible!

FERMENTED KOSHER-STYLE DILL PICKLES



Fermented Kosher-Style Dill Pickles image

These old-fashioned deli-style pickles are created entirely by fermentation, without the use of vinegar. This recipe produces a quantity that fills a half-gallon Mason jar. If you like, add a few non-traditional chile de arbol peppers for their red visual appeal (and spiciness)!

Time P3DT20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ gallon water
2 pounds Kirby cucumbers
1 cup tap water
⅓ cup kosher salt
5 cloves fresh garlic, or more to taste
1 bunch fresh dill, stems trimmed
3 dried chile de arbol peppers

Steps:

  • Pour 1/2 gallon of water into a large container or pot. Cover loosely and allow to sit for 24 hour to allow dissolved chlorine to escape.
  • Crisp cucumbers by storing in the refrigerator or soaking in very cold water for 1 hour.
  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan. Add salt and stir to combine. Set aside to cool.
  • Wash cucumbers in cold water and remove any blossoms that may be clinging to them. Quarter large cucumbers lengthwise. Cut medium cucumbers in half lengthwise. Leave gherkin-sized cucumbers whole.
  • Peel and gently crush garlic cloves, but don't splinter them into fragments.
  • Pour cooled salt water into a 1/2-gallon Mason jar. Add cucumbers, garlic, dill, and dried chile peppers, arranged attractively. Pack cucumbers tightly; they will shrink as they pickle. Fill the jar with the dechlorinated water until cucumbers are just covered to avoid overly diluting the brine.
  • Loosely cover the jar and set aside at room temperature. Set the jar on a dish if it is very full, to catch any dribbles. Give the pickles 12 to 24 hours to begin fermenting. Refrigerate them, in brine and loosely covered, as they approach the stage of pickling you prefer: new, half-sour, or sour. Don't overshoot the mark, as refrigeration slows, but does not stop, fermentation.

KOSHER JEWISH PICKLES



Kosher Jewish Pickles image

Those of you who had the pleasure of growing up on the East Coast of the United States may have had one of these traditional Kosher pickles, made primarily by Jewish businesses. They are by no means your store bought pickles. They are even better then your favorite deli's pickles. These pickles are what all other pickles are founded on; quality. DO NOT be scared of making pickles. This is easy, and I will give it to you in layman's terms. In a good authentic Kosher pickle there is no vinegar. None, not a drop. What kind of pickle has no vinegar? A good one. Think of it this way, a pickle with vinegar is a pickle that could have been really good, but the maker decided to cheat, and quicken the process. How long is the process? 5 days, from start to finish. Too many for you? Then its time to move on. Want a fantastic, authentic, Kosher/Jewish pickles? You have found your recipe. Let us begin. P.S. The jar. I get my jar(s) by buying a big jar of crap pickles from a food warehouse. Then I wash it and pour some boiling water in it, and it is ready for use. I also boil the cap just in case, but have made many batches without ever using boiling water and I have never taken ill. Only reason I do use the boiling water on occasion is because my wife is around.

Time 2h

Yield 15-25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

20 -25 mildly ripe firm pickling cucumbers
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 head garlic, peeled and broken up into cloves
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 bunch fresh dill
1/2 lb ice
3 grape leaves (optional)
16 cups water

Steps:

  • Cut 1/16" off the ends of the cucumbers and scrub very well (leaving the blossom end on can lead to spoilage).
  • Soak the cucumbers in ice water for a couple of hours.
  • When cucumbers are almost done soaking, Mix the salt and water.
  • Sterilize or wash your giant pickle jar (about a gallon) from the food warehouse. Make sure you have properly disposed of all the lousy pickles that use to be in it, I Recommend your compost heap or the garbage. Wash the jar or sterilize it so it no longer stinks like the vinegar they used to make there inferior pickles.
  • Now it gets real easy. Pack as many of your pickles into the jar as you can. Use the rest for a salad or something. stick in all the dill (you can chop it, but it does not matter), all the garlic cloves, all the seeds, then stop, and look at your beautiful jar. If you have the grape leaves, stick them in at this time. I don't ever use them, but my buddy does.
  • Pour the salt water in the jar. All the way up to the top minus an inch, or a half inch or so. If you are short water, add some.
  • Tightly cover the jar with the lid that came on the giant pickle jar. Cover it tightly, as hard as you can turn, stop, then tighten again just to make sure. Stand back, and look at the beauty of what you have made.
  • Place jar UPSIDE down, with a towel over it (to keep it dark), in a cool (65-58°F) place in your home. Put a plate under the jar to see if it leaks.
  • The next day (24 hours later) check to see if the jar leaked. If it did, it means you didn't follow my instructions. Tighten the lid (if needed) and TURN IT UPRIGHT, cover it with the towel, and ignore it. Walk away.
  • Leave in cool dark place for five days. If you want to leave them for a full week, more power to you. Both time frames will result in a great authentic Kosher pickle.
  • Enjoy, then leave feedback on this recipe.

SUN KOSHER TYPE DILL PICKLES



Sun Kosher Type Dill Pickles image

This recipe sounds weird, but it works well and makes pickles you can keep for up to a year. If you want them to taste like spicy kosher dills, add a hot pepper to each jar. If you want them extra crispy, add a pea sized lump of alum to each jar, but it's not required. This recipe is especially good for home gardeners since you can make as little as one jar at a time, instead of waiting for a large amount of cucumbers at once. These sometimes seal in the sun, and sometimes not, but they will keep for a year in a pantry or a basement regardless.

Time 15m

Yield 1 quart, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups cucumbers, sliced
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon dill seed
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons canning salt

Steps:

  • Wash and slice cucumbers about 1/4 inch thick and place loosely into a quart canning jar. Don't pack them tight. Peel and slice your clove of garlic, too.
  • Place the garlic, dill, salt, and vinegar into the jar with the cucumbers. If you're using the alum, put it into the jar now, too.
  • Fill the jar to about 1/2 inch from the top with clean cool water. If your water at home is rusty or irony, use bottled water.
  • Place a new canning flat lid on top, making sure that the rim of the jar is clean and no salt or dill is between the jar and the lid. Seal tight by hand.
  • Shake the jar vigorously until the salt is dissolved.
  • Write the date one week from the date you're making these on top of the lid with a magic marker.
  • Place the jar in a sunny place and shake the jar once a day. When the date you wrote on the lid is reached, the pickles are ready.
