alt=\"Pickling Jars\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>In this blog, I\u2019m going to give you the ultimate crash course in pickling.\u00a0 It is likely you\u2019ll never buy a store-bought lifeless can of sliced jalapenos or a limp dill pickle again after watching this.\u00a0 I will also share with you my recipe for Prepper Pickled Pepper Purslane.\u00a0 In just a few minutes, you\u2019ll know what you need to do for your first pickling project.\u00a0 I went a little pickling crazy and pickled Jalapenos, Classic Dill slices and spears, Green Tomatoes, Bird Peppers, and garlic and onions, which are amazing in Bloody Mary\u2019s, cocktails, or just for cooking.\u00a0 I wanted to give you a broad range of examples.\u00a0 I even use Purslane and Broadleaf Plantain I foraged from my yard.\u00a0 I\u2019ll give you the simple formula upfront, go into a little more detail of what you need to know to be successful, then I\u2019ll tell you what can go wrong, how to fix it or when to toss it, and what to look for when you\u2019ve got it right.\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityprepping.com\/2021\/08\/17\/how-to-pickle-food-a-beginners-guide\/#bottom\">Links to calculators and the items mentioned here are at the bottom.\u00a0 Also, you\u2019ll find the recipe and brine chart down there.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>WHAT YOU NEED<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Of course, you\u2019re going to need the vegetable you plan to pickle, a jar to hold it in, a weight, smooth rock or pieces of carrot and celery, which I\u2019ll show you how to use, salt and water to make a brine, and a lid for that jar.\u00a0 That\u2019s it.\u00a0 I highly recommend some pickling spice, grape leaves if you have them, fermentation weights, maybe some cheesecloth, and maybe airlocks, but you don\u2019t need these to learn how to pickle.\u00a0 You might want to get some basic pH strips too&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the
