I know not related, but did you ever come up with a pickle recipe you liked? I have a batch brining right now.
And, I guess I was in a brine-making mood, I made another and put a brisket in it and cooked it tonight after letting it brine for 10 days.
No; my husband tried some last year, but they didn’t seem to be doing right, so he dumped them; and we haven’t gotten back to it yet. The little cucumbers will be in the stores soon, so perhaps we’ll try again. I’m very interested in trying the real fermented pickles. Just poking around, I found this:

Please post your recipe.
