California Farm Pickle Miniature Cucumbers

Armenian and persian cucumbers grow well here in our hot desert climate, and we pick them in June, when still small, before they produce a lot of seeds. Skin on, pickled fresh with a solution of boiled wine, vinegar, sugar, water and spices. They hold their delicious, crunchy, sweet-sour-spicy-fresh taste all year, fresh or sterilized.
To maintain their tender taste, we do not add the pickling spices we normally use to pickle fully grown English and Californian cucumbers.
If not eaten after a week in the fridge, we sterilize the leftover pickles in their mason jar in a waterbath, 15 minutes and keep them in the pantry.

Cucumber Pickles Cucumber Pickles
I adopted a recipe that I saw in a book about 10 years ago.※ If you can, use premade pickling spice to make authentic and spicy pickles. But if you cannot find it, use a mixture of 5 grains of black pepper corn, 1 red chili pepper, and 1 bay leaf.※ You can eat it on the first day, but it's best after 3 days.

California Farm Persian Pickled Garlic California Farm Persian Pickled Garlic
This recipe is from cookpad member Mahsa Aras. Thank you. I am always very careful when fermenting garlic because of botulism. She keeps her garlic refrigerated after pickling. I also sterilized the garlic in a water bath just to be sure. Hope that did not spoil the flavor.Her garlic tastes really really good after two days, spicy and intense, you wont need much!

Sweet & Tangy Homemade Cucumber Pickles Sweet & Tangy Homemade Cucumber Pickles
This was my first time making homemade pickles, as we grew a decent amount of cucumbers this year in our backyard garden! I looked through alot of recipes before I decided what I wanted to do and this is a combination of a few different recipes. Depending on what size jars you have, what size and how many pickles, and how flavorful you want them you may need to adjust the amounts accordingly. You can also reuse your brine for more pickling! 👏#onerecipeonetree #mycookbook #pickles #diy #sweetpickles #pickledcucumbers #pickledtomatoes Chef Mommy Nessa -
Easy and Colorful Yellow Cucumber and Onion Pickles Easy and Colorful Yellow Cucumber and Onion Pickles
From middle school to high school, I would often visit a Protestant church.I recently recalled how the pastor of the church would always serve these pickles during meals, and taught me how to make them.While they are on the sweet side, they taste almost exactly as I remembered.Try it during the summer when you need a way to consume your stock of cucumbers.If you drain the cucumbers after brining, use less seasonings overall.This recipe makes a sweet pickle, so adjust to taste.You could also use powdered white pepper, but in that case, reduce it to about 1 teaspoon.They will last in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Taiwanese-Style "Kyuchan" Cucumber Pickles Taiwanese-Style "Kyuchan" Cucumber Pickles
A long time ago, I bought a jar of pickled cucumbers in Taiwan and used them in many dishes, but since they are hard to find in Japan, I decided to make my own!After a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with this recipe!It tastes exactly like the real thing.-Remove the cucumbers from the sauce as soon as it comes to a boil. If they simmer too long, the texture will change, so be careful!-These will last for about a month, so I recommend making a large batch! For 1 jarful. Recipe by Mizorecchifan cookpad.japan -

Garlicky Pounded Cucumber Pickles Garlicky Pounded Cucumber Pickles
The cucumber dish served at a certain chain restaurant was delicious, so I tried to recreate it at home.Adjust the amount of salt to taste. It should be on the salty side if serving as pickles, and less salty if serving as a drinking appetizer. Be sure to taste and adjust the seasoning. The kombu tea is optional, but I highly suggest it. For 2 servings. Recipe by smooth cookpad.japan -
