First Experiment 

Notes

  1. Refrigerator pickles – quicker turn around in case it is a failure and less equipment needed 
  2. Used regular cucumbers – thinking since they are not being heated they will not soften up too much to be appealing – this was verified by the results.
  3. Carrots and zuchini included in case a harder vegetable was required.  They also turned out good. Carrots obviously not as good as they are very hard in comparison.
  4. Placed the flavoring ingredients in the jars first.  Placed the vegetables in second.  Brought the brine to a boil to sterilize.  Poured slowly over vegetables to get some heating action but was very slow to avoid cracking the glass.
  5. Put rosemary instead of dill in one jar as a test
