Here are my two types of pickles, sitting in the refrigerator
for a time out to think about what they did.

Now if only I could remember where I put the seals
and clips.

It is important that your salted (no vineger) sit at room temp
for at least 2 days before putting them in the fridge. Do not
put them in the fridge beforehand.

Yer supposed to BURY Kimchee in a crock!

Okay, I screwed up the salt part and in fixing it, I wound up
making them too salty. I did put them into the refrigerator
after they had cooled off. Both types. So far the salt pickles
taste great if you can overlook ... the salt. I changed the
water.

This wasn't too intimidating, I'll be trying pickles again in the
future, making some adjustments. Thanks, everyone.

I cheat.

I buy commercial pickles, save the brine, then use that. ;-)
It's only good for 2 uses max, but still......

So I gotta hand it to you doing it from scratch!

Heh, I've done that. Just spear up some cukes and put
them in the jar. Tastes great.

I was inspired by an article someone sent me. Glad I did it.

1/3rd a cup of salt was too much for 1 cup of water anyway. I'd
ask for your money back for that recipe.

Show me a commercial dill that uses fresh dill. They certainly
have access to plenty of fresh dill, but they have never used it.
And it's not for cost cutting measures. It has always been this
way.

Fresh dill doesn't look so good after being in brine for a while. Dill
seeds wouldn't lose their appearance so drastically.
