Have Pickles All Summer Long!

I am interested in the crock pot pickles. So do you leave it on the counter or put it in the fridge It sounds delicious and great snack for grandkids.
Thanks for sharing
This sounds amazing! We all love pickles. I love the thought of adding other vegetables. I can't wait to make these. Awesome!
I'm hoping you can answer a question (actually 2 questions): Regarding pickles cucumbers, does using lower salt brine such as 3% vs 5% and aging longer at higher salt brine make a difference to final outcome? For example, using 3% and fermenting 2 weeks vs using 5% and fermenting 4 weeks end up with the same result or different result? The second question, kind or related: Is fermentation done once the CO2 bubbles stop rising? Is there any benefit to aging in brine longer than that or is it done changing once the fermentation has stopped?
I was looking for a simple green tomato pickled recipe...I found it here thanks!
I have pickled the traditional way for years now, too busy for all the fuss and work
Further admired Margaret's way of living...very appealing. Thanks again for this.
Quick question or two. Once weighed down with plate do you cover with crock lid? And after two weeks, refrigerate uneaten pickles, drain bribe and start all over again?
No need to cover further. The plate just keeps the flies out. I try not to have any uneaten pickles when I throw out the old brine, but if I do, I just add them to the new one.
How much salt do you put in?
I just taste the brine until it seems right. No measured amount, since I'm not preserving these pickles.
