Probiotic Half Sour Pickle recipe
I love pickles, add in the benefits of a Probiotic pickle I am in heaven. I have been a big pickle eater since I was a little girl. I fell in love with half sours at a restaurant called The Lincoln Deli in the Minneapolis area. It was a little deli my mom loved going to, the upside for me was a bucket of pickles on every booth. FREE PICKLES half sours at that!
Digestion problems? Do you suffer from bloating? Constipation? Not sure how much or what to eat to help? Probiotics will do the trick. This is the simplest recipe ever for a natural probiotic. All you need is a little salt and some water.
After Day 1 the pickles are starting to change color and it is beginning to get cloudy.
They are looking so pretty I cannot help but sneak one. I like to add in a bit of spice too.
A little bubbles mean they are becoming that probiotic treat that costs at least $10.00 a quart at my local grocery store.
Ingredients
- Pickling Cucumbers
- Filtered water
- 2 tablespoons sea salt I use Himalayan Sea Salt
- Dill
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tablespoon peppercorns
Instructions
- Sterilize a quart jar and lid or whatever container works for you, I got my jar from Ikea.
- Combine salt and water and let sit until salt dissolves
- Cut the tips off on both ends. Either keep your pickles whole or cut in half or fours
- Add your spices (Peppercorns, Garlic, and Dill) optional spices could be pepper flakes, mustard, horseradish, etc. Get creative with your taste buds.
- Pack your pickles leaving a little head space
- You're going to now put a small jar or cup into the container so your pickles are under the water.
- Place the container onto a small plate for leakage that can occur
- Put in a dark area of the house
- Let sit at least three days for a half sour pickle, longer for sour
- Check the pickles daily for scum on top, just use a spoon to remove and check that the pickles stay below the water. Add more water if you need to.
