Pretty much the fermented pickles I make... only I use Penzeys
pickling spice (the best I've tried), dried dillweed+dill seeds, and
twice the garlic, and I use RO water, reverse osmosis filtered water
is purer than bottled. Just yesterday I put up two quarts of spears
(quartered longitudinally) to join the two gallons of wholes. It's
been ten days so the gallons are now in the fridge, will likely dive
in tomorrow.
Tonight's dinner; a 3.3 pound family pack of skinless boneless chick
breasts sliced into cutlets and marinating in soy sauce, freshly
ground white peppercorns, ginger powder, white box wine, a wee bit
sesame oil, and a heaping tbls orange marmalade... to be sauted.
Will be accompanied by buttered wide egg noodles tossed w/brussel
sprouts.
Yes, and all reused jars so sue me:
