How about pickled carrots? Pickled Peppers? Hot or mild? Have you ever had dilly beans? MMMmm Pickled green tomatoes, preserve the unripened fruits that would end up frozen in the fall. Another great way to preserve the end of the harvest is mixed vegetable pickles. Chop some of those veggies and combine to make sweet pickle relish. A great pickling tip from one of SimplyCanning's readers. More recipe links at the bottom of this page.  When you think of canning pickles you probably think immediately of a cucumber. However, pickling is not just for cucumbers. Pickling is simply the preserving of food (many different foods) in an acid, often vinegar. The acidic environment prevents bacterial growth and thus makes the food safe to eat. Spices and or sweeteners are added for flavor. When canning pickles you will process in a water bath canner. Types of PicklesBrined or Fermented PicklesFermenting is a form of pickling. The food to be pickled is soaked in a salty brine to ferment or cure. This is the most time consuming method. Brining time can vary from a couple of days to several weeks. Fresh Pack Pickles Also known as quick process. These pickles are packed in a vinegar solution. They can be brined from a few hours to overnight. The are then processed and allowed to set for up to several weeks to allow flavors to develop.
