How to Fill Out Pickling & Fermenting:

1. Start by selecting the vegetables or fruits you want to pickle or ferment. These can include cucumbers, carrots, radishes, cabbage, or even fruits like apples or berries.
2. Clean and prepare the vegetables or fruits by washing them thoroughly and removing any stems, leaves, or blemishes. Cut them into desired shapes or sizes, such as slices, wedges, or julienne.
3. Prepare a brine solution by combining water, vinegar, salt, and any desired spices or flavorings. The ratio of vinegar to water and the amount of salt may vary depending on the recipe you are following. Bring the brine to a boil and allow it to cool.
4. Place the prepared vegetables or fruits into clean and sterilized glass jars. You can also add additional flavorings such as garlic, dill, peppercorns, or chili flakes.
5. Pour the cooled brine over the vegetables or fruits, ensuring they are completely submerged. Tap the jars on a countertop gently to remove any air bubbles and ensure the brine penetrates all the way through.
6. Seal the jars tightly with lids and store them in a cool, dark place such as a pantry or cellar. The fermentation process will take some time, usually a few days to weeks, depending on the desired level of flavor and tanginess.
7. During fermentation, it is important to "burp" the jars occasionally by briefly opening the lids to release any built-up gas. This helps prevent pressure build-up and keeps the pickles or fermented vegetables safe.
8. After the desired fermentation period, taste the pickles or fermented vegetables to ensure they have reached the desired flavor. If they are to your liking, you can transfer them to the refrigerator for longer storage. If not, you can continue fermenting them for a little longer.

Who Needs Pickling & Fermenting:

1. Home cooks who want to preserve seasonal or abundant produce and extend their shelf life.
