Pickling

For my dill pickles, I throw in a sprig of rosemary and a chopped thai chili. The brine goes well with gin.

Gin in the brine, or as an accompaniment?

I make kimchi often. It adds a nice heat and flavour to most foods.

That's more fermenting than pickling. Same with sauerkraut.

how do I into dill pickles?

there's a little packet of pickling stuff at the supermarket. is that worth a shot?

If you don't want to use your own ingredients, yes.

I'm not sure why you consider them to be two different things.

Ferments are pickles. They're just "self made" pickles where the acid comes from the fermentation rather than from added vinegar.

Put cucumbers and some fresh dill in a jar. Add some pickling spice blend. Pour in vinegar. Put jar in fridge for a while.

Maybe do 1/3 water to 2/3 vinegar, unless you want them super vinegary. And add a bunch of salt

I pickle cucumbers, red onion, and jalapeños in the same jar.

I tried pickling once and then it grew mold and I was freaked out...

I'll never attempt to ferment habanero again. Pain in the ass that isn't worth the effort; comes out rancid. Quick pickle at best.

Everything else turned out splendid.
