Ceramic Crock For Pickles

Then you weigh the food down so it remains under the brine.

Ceramic crock for pickles.

Hi for years i have made my own pickles both ways canned in vinegar and crock. To use an open crock you just put the food and brine into the pot leaving a bit of headspace to allow for expansion. The top of the jar features a built in lip to allow for easier lifting to move the jar from your prep area to where it will rest for weeks during the fermentation process. I ve added a few recent auction of pickling crocks currently selling on ebay at the bottom of this page.

Or a very large glass jar. Check the crock several times a week for surface scum and remove it as needed. If you think you ll have more or need to make more dill pickles then double or triple the recipe as needed. You ll also need a pottery crock to make these.
