I've made pickles this way, and they are great! A little bit of mold developed on top of the water but that isn't a problem. Just scooped it off and the pickles themselves are fine. Did I say fine? I meant great! :-)

I'd encourage everybody to try your recipe, it could not be any simpler and the results are, well, great!

I have made my own pickles before but the recipe called for whey. Now I know I can make them without. Yippee!!!

[fritchbeetle]

Hey Meghan! Thanks for this awesome video. How come you don't use whey?

[megtelpner]

Because it has lactose. I am not a personal fan of dairy.

Vinegar is no the traditional fermentation process. You won't get the same probiotic properties.

[valleymoms]

Is there a specific reason you don't use vinegar?

[missavaricebliss]

My pickles turned out GREAT! But I do have a question. How many times can I reuse the brine for a fresh batch of cucumbers? I understand that you can store already pickled pickles in old brine, but can you put new cukes in old brine? They're also super duper salty tasting - can I reduce the amount of salt I put in? Thanks for teaching us what you know :)

[megtelpner]

Hmmm... to be honest I have no idea. Never considered it. And yeah- reduce the salt. Different types of salt will have different 'saltyness' to them

I've watched a few of your videos - interesting.

What is the uncredited intro music?

[missavaricebliss]

Grocers have the jars, too! Finding those little pickling cukes has been harder for me to find. Do you think the temperature of the house makes a difference in the fermenting process? Our house is poorly insulated and it gets very hot (80-85F) in the afternoons...

[megtelpner]

I am not an expert- try and see.

[ImOliviaDu]

can u make a video about how to make homemade poptarts?

[megtelpner]

Nope. No I can't. I wouldn't know where to start.

[megtelpner]

I would go with either the one litre or quart jars- any hardware store should have.

What size jars? Where do you get them? :)
