What are pickles?
Pickles are actually just cucumbers that are (for lack of a better term) “pickled” in a mixture of vinegar and salt, and then left to ferment.
There are many types of pickles and they are all used for different things. Here are some of them:
- bread and butter – these are made in a solution of vinegar, sugar and salt.
- dill – dill pickles are left in the brine for a shorter amount of time, this way they stay crisp and green.
- kosher – these aren’t necessarily “kosher” by definition, but rather made in the traditional manner of Jewish pickle makers.
- hungarian – these are made without vinegar. They use a salt and water mixture instead.
- lime – these pickles are fermented in a pickling lime juice (not the citrus lime.)
