Gardening, canning, pickling and everything related

I checked again just the other day & they were completely wiped out of anything canning, jars, lids, anything. Oh the only thing they had was Ball books & it looked like no one had even touched those good books.

calldoctoday Had to go to the store for a few things and the few wide mouth lids they had yesterday were gone. One big empty isle. Not sure anyone but a Star Trek fan would understand this prase, but “message Spock?”

Chef sometimes your local hardware store will have canning supply’s

craigrice I bought them out 2 months ago

Well I got after the canning this weekend pickles, salsa, and pizza sauce.
-
Started a new project today making some fermented pickles.

I did a little research on using grape leafs in making pickles and found out it is the tannins in them that keep pickles crisp. Other things more readily available I found you can use are bay leafs, coffee and even tea bags. I went with bay leafs so I’ll see how that works.

Tex_77 growing up I never knew that pickles came in a jar, always went to get pickles and veggies from great grandma’s crocks. Her cold storage area reminded me of a mad scientist lab, sort of like the old Boris Karloff Frankenstein movies, but I can still remember all the smells of fermenting veggies.

Tex_77 Wow, been meaning to took that up but that’s great. If it is the tannins, wonder if an acorn would work?

Tex_77 They do look very good. Do you have a specific recipe? I see you are using bay leaf, I have never tried that.

Chef It’s a new recipe out of a cookbook I have, Pigs, Pickles and Whiskey. The recipe called for 6 bay leafs.

lkrfletcher Chef I worked up this recipe years ago. They don’t last long when I make them. Large and jumbo eggs will work, but the medium eggs pickle more quickly and have more of the flavor. Medium eggs also are a better snack size, and a dozen fit nearly perfectly in a quart-sized, wide mouth Mason jar.
Gochujang Pickled Eggs
12 medium eggs
¾ cup water
1 ¼ cups white vinegar
2 tsp salt
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp mustard seed
½ tsp turmeric
2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
2 half-dollar sized slices ginger, julienned
Thinly sliced onion to taste
¼ tsp dill seed
½ tsp dry mustard
¼ tsp black pepper
Pinch of dry oregano-
Boil eggs—place in pot and cover with water; bring to boil; cut fire, cover, and remove from heat; after 10 minutes, cool under running cold water (and make ice bath); remove shells. Place eggs in large jar (1 dozen medium eggs fits perfectly in a 1-quart, wide mouth mason jar) or other container of choice.
-
Add remaining ingredients to saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring frequently until salt is dissolved. Simmer for 5-7 minutes. Pour over eggs in jar.
-
Close jar and refrigerate for at least 4 days (2 weeks is better).
TexLaw Well, I waited 2 weeks and opened the jar this morning. Not sure just what I expected, but it really had no flavor, tasted like a very firm hard boiled egg. I was expecting much more of a seasoned flavor. Any thoughts as to what I might have done wrong?

Chef I looked back for your recipe, what was it?
