It’s been a while since I’ve gone to the farmers market and bought whatever looked great, with no real plans on what to do with it.  Almost forgot how much fun it is to play around with fermentation with no plan. 

p.s. you may notice our content start to look a little different. Since we just moved from our tiny apartment into a house, we now have the space to make our content in the kitchen instead of on a fold out table in our bedroom lol :) I’m so excited for this new szn of Cultured Guru

Pickle Pursuit Ep. 3 Bread and Butter Pickles with @ballcanning 

Let’s just say that I’ve fully entered my canning girl era.

A perfect pool day or beach day sandwich requires a sweet pickle, and that’s where water bath canning pickles comes in! It’s just not possible to get a classic, sweet bread and butter pickle with fermentation.

As a food microbiologist, I love the connection here. Canning pickles is all about stopping microbial growth, but when water bath canning pickles, we still rely on a vital fermented ingredient: vinegar. Even when we’re trying to keep microbes out, we still rely on them, just in a different way! 😍🥒

Grab your jars and try a recipe from the 38th Edition Ball® Blue Book Guide to Preserving or BallMasonJars.com to get started canning pickles this season! All Ball® home canning recipes are tested and approved for safety, and that’s why I love them.
