Laketon79 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 This is probably a stupid question, but are homemade pickes fermented? Someone just gave me a few jars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted July 20, 2013 Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2013 Maybe. I think it is possible to ferment cucumbers to get pickles, but I make mine with apple cider vinegar, apple juice, and spices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Tom's right, you can lacto ferment cucumbers to get pickles, but not all recipes work that way. One clue: if they are pressure canned (like in a mason jar with a seal and they don't tell you to refrigerate them) then the cucumbers are just pickled and not fermented.
