Ingredients for pickling: peppers tomatoes, collards, cherry leaves, dill seed, rosemary. After trimming I’ll weigh it to see how much salt to use, then pack it into the jar.
Cherry leaves add a little bit of tannins that keep things crispy.
The loaded pickling jar. It has a “well” around the lid to keep the carbon dioxide in as it ferments. Once it gets to a certain point it starts “blooping”. I just have to keep some water in the moat to maintain the air lock.
@tippitiwichet I hope so! They said the half-ripe tomatoes can be pretty sour so I trimmed away the greenest parts.
