Stefan you are the pickle master! I promised on the Polish site to make Maxell Mother's pickles but so far had not the time. Gotta do it soon, before the cucumbers are done. I also have only the larger slicing variety, but will pick a few smaller ones and try this recipe. And right now I'm not even home, so there is just so little time to do anything these days. :lol:

Tis the Season

Is the recipe for half-sours different? How do you arrest the fermentation?

Room temp start and then refrigerated to slow fermentation. They are best if consumed in the first 3-6 days, after that they start to get soft.

Whole process for making cucumbers in brine is very simple - 1.5 table spoon of salt (not jodonized)per 1 liter of water plus dill, garlic, piece of horseradish root (also can be added leaf of tart cherry or oak).
I also add some Red Pepper flakes.

First 24-36 hours over counter, then next 3-5 days in refrigerator (after that time I don't need worry because there none left)

Thought I'd put my 2 pickles worth as well. Pretty much the same ole Polish recipe that every other Pole is using. 1 tbls of non-iodine salt, dill and black currant leaves. I just added a ton more of garlic - 10 cloves worth and a tps of chilli flakes for a lot of zing :twisted: !!!
