Pickle products add spice

Pickle products truly add spice to meals or snacks. The skillful blending of sugar and vinegar with fruits and vegetables gives crisp, firm texture and pungent, sweet-sour flavor. Pickles and relishes contribute some nutritive value, contain little or no fat, and except for the sweet type, are low in calories. Although the grocery store offers a variety of pickles and relishes, many homemakers prefer to make their own pickle products. Home canned pickles and relishes are relatively easy to prepare when you follow the right directions. The first step to successful pickle making is to use the right cucumber. Cucumbers should be of a pickling variety. A pickling cucumber is thin-skinned and uniform in sizd and shape. Cucumbers that are used -for eating plain or adding to a salad are called slicers. They are frequently larger with thick skins and tend to result in a soft pickle with a tough skin. A pickling cucumber will produce crisp pickles. Never use cucumbers that have been waxed because the brine cannot penetrate the skin. The next most important step to successful pickles is the ingredients. Satisfactory pickles can be obtained only when goodquality ingredients are used. Start by selecting young, tender, freshly gathered fruits and vegetables. A good rule to follow is to make pickles the same day the produce is harvested. Delays in canning fresh produce reduce their quality and give bacteria on food an opportunity 1o multiply. If you can't handle the produce the same day it’s harvested, refrigerate it or keep it in a cool, airy place. Cucumbers, like any other vegetable, deteriorate rapidly at room temperature. Do not use fruits or vegetables showing the slightest sign of spoilage. Proper processing kills

potential spoilage organisms, but does not destroy the off-flavor that may be produced by mold growth in the tissue. Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly and be sure to remove all blossoms from cucumbers. They may be a source of the enzymes responsible? for softening of cucumbers during fermentation. Ingredients make a difference also. It’s important to use fresh ingredients of salt, vinegar, and spices. Pure granulated salt should be used. Un-iodized table salt can be used but the materials added to salt to prevent caking may make the pickle brine cloudy. lodized salt should not be used as the pickles will darken and brine pickles will not ferment properly. Be sure to use the freshest spices and herbs for superior flavor. Spices and herbs deteriorate quickly and lose their pungency in heat and humidity. Moldy spices can cause soft pickles. Another step to good pickles is accurate measurements. The proper combination and amounts of ingredients create the right pickling environment. When making fermented pickles a scum develops on top of the pickling solution, This scum should be removed daily, but care should be taken in removing the scum so that it does not get mixed into the solution. Scum contains molds and yeasts that will lower the acidity and weaken the solution which allows the pickle to soften. The final step to successful pickles is to process them. Pickle products require heat treatment to destroy organisms that cause spoilage and to inactivate enzymes that may affect flavor, color and texture. Adequate heating is best achieved by processing the filled jars in a boiling water bath. Processing time must be timed accurately or soft and shriveled pickles will result.
