Shlomos Kosher Sour Pickles/Tomatoes

    Cuisine:

    This was my first time making pickles so I didnt know what to expect.. used tiny cucumbers I purchased at Costco. I made sure to use a little alum and stuck to the recipe except for cutting everything by 1/2. Within 3-4 days the cucumbers were changing color and I knew something was happening! At 6 days they looked.. like pickles ! So I tried one it was delicious but way too salty so I drained all the brine but left the spices in and refilled the jar w water a little white vinegar and another pinch of alum. By the next day the pickles were fantastic! My family loved them too. Dont skip removing all the cloves and allspice.

    Shlomo’s Kosher Sour Pickles/Tomatoes by Sy,There is nothing quite like a “Mouth Watering” Kosher New York City Sour Pickle or Sour Tomato from a wooden barrel. I remember as a teenager in “The Bronx” biking over to the local indoor but “open” food market, with many vendors providing produce. I would then go over to the “Pickle Man” and watch him put his hand into the wooden barrel and pull out a “Big One”, for only 5 Cents!,This was my first time making pickles so I didnt know what to expect.. used tiny cucumbers I purchased at Costco. I made sure to use a little alum and stuck to the recipe except for cutting everything by 1/2. Within 3-4 days the cucumbers were changing color and I knew something was happening!
