Paleo Diet and Paleolithic Diet Questions & Answers

Question

1

Piggybacking off an earlier question (that made me think about how much I miss eating pickles), anybody have a ridiculously good fermented pickle recipe?

I know there was a basic process in the earlier question, but I am talking about a so-good-you-can't-stop-eating-them, I'll-never-want-another-pickle-again style foolproof recipe?

Right now, I am leaning towards Alton Brown's version because he rarely steers ya wrong, but I'd like the wisdom of the paleo community to chime in.

Nice, Kelly. Looking forward to it. I don't understand her, but my wife doesn't like dill pickles. She will certainly enjoy that. – Eric Jun 28 2011 at 23:17

Huh! You rejected my basic pickle recipe. My pickles feel dejected and crushed.

IMHO, adding spices to the garlic and dill doesn't make it better. It's already perfection. I feel the same way about sauerkraut. Make it with cabbage, salt, and water and nothing else. For me, less is more, but to each his own.

Post the recipe if you try something and it fulfills all your pickle fantasies.

I don't feel nearly the same way about sauerkraut as I do about pickles. Pickles are delicious. When I get around to making them, I will report back how they turn out. I am kinda worried about the Alton recipe (and yours by extension, since they are very close) because one of the reviews said they tasted like "salty cucumbers". I'm hoping for good pickle-y flavor, not salty cucumbers. – Eric Jun 28 2011 at 23:19
