Pickled Cucumber

In a world of store-bought everything (and l appreciate the ease), my pickle journey began as a quest for crunchier, zestier jar-joys. While I appreciate the usual suspects on supermarket shelves, I wanted reinforcements with the brine, and spices and just to get over with my penchant for experimentation.
Crafting my own pickles became a creative escape, a dance of flavors in my kitchen. Each jar tells a tale of triumph, satisfaction, and unique customization. It's not just about pickles, it's about savoring the freedom to pickle perfection.

PMS Pickles PMS Pickles
I made these with some leftover pickle brine I had. I had lots of motherwort herb from the garden and no dill, so I decided to make PMS pickles. Motherwort can help with pms, peri, postpartum, and other "ladies" issues, and can also ease anxiety in both women and men. No guarantees that these pickles will ease your ills, but they're tasty and comforting. The brine cuts the bitterness of the herb. Use just one leaf if you want less of the herb taste. harlequinn823 -
Pickled Jalapeños + Pickled Jalapeños +
My brother-in-law, André, enjoys gardening and grows loads of beautiful jalapeños especially for me. I love them and use in a lot of my recipes. They're quick and easy to pickle for the fridge. I strongly recommend wearing latex gloves when handling the jalapeños. We had a couple of leftover mini bells sweet peppers from André's garden that I also used because I liked the red/green contrast. Then he brought in a mess of beautiful banana peppers, and I thought what the heck....in they went. They're delicious! Maggie Conlon -

Savory Pickled Beets Savory Pickled Beets
So many of the recipes for pickled beets out there call for buckets of sugar and spices that are better suited for pies than for pickles in my humble opinion.This recipe goes the tart savory direction with them instead.Substitute dill seeds or even a sprig of fresh dill for the caraway for a tasty variation.#cookingwithyui jesseclark -

Korean Style Cucumber Salad Korean Style Cucumber Salad
I was looking for something to go with a steak dish I was trying, called Japanese Steak Rice Bowl. (Japanese Style Steak Rice Bowl https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/4643016-japanese-style-steak-rice-bowl ) This Korean cucumber salad looked like it might fit the bill. It was perfect, really added a nice offset to the slightly sweet sauce on the steak. Now to be fair, I'm not a huge fan of cucumbers, it's a take or leave it kind of thing. But I tell you what, this thinly sliced English cucumber, in this light pickle was perfection. I used a medium hot red pepper powder, and it was not spicy. The flavors were fresh and just happen to be perfect with the steak. Without the lime juice, it had a very slight acidic taste, if you want it a tad more, use the lime/lemon juice also. Fo Fa -
