Pickling Recipes
 
Last night I ate some really good homemade pickles and it got me wanting to give it a shot. Anybody willing to share some tips or PaPa's old pickling recipes? Hell, I'll even take MawMaw's too... I ain't picky.

Best I have had was to take a jar of dill slices. Pour the liquid out add sugar, chopped garlic, and tabasco. Close lid and turn jar over every morning and night. In a week the jar will be full of liquid. Pickles are ready.
My mom called them upside down pickles

Thanks saute. That sounds like a lot less work than I was anticipating. If you don't mind my asking, where are you a chef at? I would love to try some of your cookin..... Any other suggestions from the professional picklers out there?

Saute, I know us cajuns usually dont measure but about how much sugar and tabasco would you say you use? Id like to try this, it sounds very good.

Ive had the buffet there a few times and its very good. That desert bar is awesome also!!

Spicy Coonass Pickles

1 gallon dill pickles (thin sliced)
5# sugar
4 T garlic (fine diced)
1oz tabasco


Remove all juice and half of pickles from jar.
Add half of all ingredients to jar.
Add remaining pickles and rest of ingredients to jar.
Turn jar over top to bottom once every morning and evening for 7 days.

Each day it will gain liquid and by 7th day the jar will be full.
I then transfer to 1 pint jars. These pickles do not need refrigeration.
Be careful these pickles are addictive. They are like a spicy bread and butter pickle only better.

Yes the small individual desserts will get you every time. Its hard not to want to try them all.
Have you had the fish cooked to order? Its the best thing on the buffet. Next time try the salmon and get the ginger teriyaki sauce. You wont be disapointed.

I'm definitely trying this. Sounds awesome

I wonder if this is close to the pickles that Tabasco makes

I'm gonna try this this weekend

Matt G 08-11-2012 12:15 PM

I just got done mixing it all up and back in the jar to ferment. I used my in-law's hot sauce instead of Tobasco.... Has a little more kick to it. Now tell me this... How do you stop yourself from eating them before it's ready? I'm afraid they won't make it 7 days!
