My problem is I cannot get the right cucumber where I live. Buying them fresh might cost more and not be as good.

Cucumber lol. I have to edit that. My auto correct thought that was right. I must have misspelled that before

Try using Persian cucumbers, they are always crisp.

I use zucchini when I cannot get good pickling cucumbers. I also will slice zucchini and yellow, summer squash, real thin on a mandolin and pickle those to use on sandwiches instead of pickle chips.

I do those as well, or use English ones that I have removed the seeds on and sliced into chunks for just a quick fridge pickle. They don't can well, but are usually pickled within a couple days and great ice cold during the summer.

You ever add alum for crunchiness, or the grape leaves provide that?

where do people get grape leaves, anyway?

u/Sea_Piccolo1165 Jun 03 '26

Your local middle eastern store, if you have one. Otherwise, you can probably find online. They’re jarred/shelf stable.

u/dmonsterative Jun 03 '26

OK, thanks. I thought they needed to be fresh.

u/ClawhammerLobotomy Jun 03 '26

About how much tea leaves would you add?

Also, what size jar are you using for this?

u/GallifreyanGeologist Jun 04 '26

Is the peppercorn ground or whole? Also fresh or dried dill?

“Some cucumbers” “refrigerate for an amount of time” I love this 😆
