The flavor was there but the pickles were mushy
I read on other sites that I should have cut the blossom end off of the Persian cucumbers and maybe boil them for 5 minutes
Anyone with pickle experience have any advice? |
Yes a Persian cucumber is not a pickling cucumber.
Second I think the 10 minutes in the hot water bath is too much and I dont do it but that is just me.
I use almost the same recipe and pour hot water over the cucumbers let them seal and put them in the refrigerator.
The 1 to 1 ratio water to vinegar is my standard for my pickles.
Yes I cut the blossom end off.
