what is a quick way to make pickles?

Question

I know there are some methods to make pickles in like 6 weeks. Are there any quicker ways?

Answer 1

My grandma's two recipes for pickles. I had to hunt them down because my hubby just HAD to have bread n butter pickles. We prefer version 2:

Grandma’s Bread & Butter Pickles

Version 1
•9 cucumbers, about 7 inches long (sliced how you like I guess…one recipe says thin, but I remember grandma’s being about ½ - ¾ inches thick?)
•1 cup chopped green peppers
•1 cup chopped onions

Soak for 1 hour in 1 teaspoon salt (at least).

•1 cup vinegar
•2 cups sugar
•1 teaspoon celery salt

Drain soaked pickles, put in a sealed glass jar and store in the refrigerator.


Version 2
•7 cups of cucumbers sliced thin
•1 cup onions sliced thin
•1 green pepper sliced thin
•1 ½ cups sugar
•1 cup vinegar
•1 T canning salt
•1 t each celery seed and mustard seed
•1/8 t alum

Put in a gallon jar and keep in the refrigerator. Good to the last pickle. Can also add some chopped celery.


They are both good after a few days, better after a week.

Answer 2

I have a recipe for 14 day pickles, but I need to go to work---- get back to you this evening..........

OK, OK I took 2 days , but here goes: Also, it's not 14 day pickles anymore--it's one week pickles.

You are very welcome.

Economy pickles
I gallon sliced dill pickles
5 pounds sugar

Empty pickles into collander and drain and rinse. Wash gallon jar. Put a layer --3 inches deep--of pickles, and 1 inch sugar.
Alternate until all pickles and sugar are used. Put top on and refrigerate a week, before using.
DONE!

Answer 3

You can make a fresh relish with cucumbers sliced onions, bell peppers. Use red wine vinegar and sugar to dress let marinate for about 1to 2 hours and serve as a pickle side dish. Cucumbers with apple cider vinegar and salt are a traditional fresh pickle in the south.

Otherwise you are in for at least a two week wait on any kind of canned pickles.

Answer 4

Depends on what kind you are making.

I make Mixed veg pickles by cutting veggis like Carrots and Cauliflower and cooking them lightly in hot mustard oil, with ginger and garlic paste , brown sugar and salt and ceyene pepper till they get a little tender and then let them cool for 4-5 hrs and bottle them.. they are ready to eat next day
try it..

Answer 5

Buy some small cucumbers and some pickling jars. Go to the store buy those pickle making packets. Just follow the instructions and tah-dah....homemade pickles. I don't think it would take very long to make them

Answer 6

it takes three days.
The simplest one is the onion and carrot pickle.
Take small sized red onions and carrots too if u wish.
Also mustard seeds, any oil, preferably mustard oil is best for pickles, red chilli powder, salt, turmeric powder.
Just wash all the vegetables.
Heat a little oil to fry the mustard seeds and keep them aside.
Now take a air tight glass jar, and put all the ingredients together.
Keep it in the sun to cook. In three days it will be ready.
U can also add other vegetables too, such as mango, peas, or chillies and lemon cut into small pieces.

Answer 7

if i were you, id cut cucumbers in strips and leave them in a jar full of pickle juice for a week maybe.

I had two jars of pickle juice, one was store-brand one was vlassic. i love vlassic, so i took some store-brand pickles and left them in vlassic juice. they soaked up the flavor in a few days.
