How to Make FERMENTED Dill Pickles! || Black Gumbo
There's nothing better than a true fermented dill pickle. Those vinegar-based pickles they sell in the grocery stores do not come close to the delicious flavor of a properly fermented cucumber pickle. More than that, there are great health benefits to fermenting your food including probiotic properties that are good for your gut. I'll show you how I pickle my cucumbers in this video and how to make a 2.5% brine. I will not provide you with measurements for spices and additions to your ferment, you will need to look that up yourself if you're not comfortable with eyeballing the contents like I am. I want you to come away from this video confident that you confirm it at home. With a few easy to acquire tools, you will be set to preserve your food in this ancient and healthy way.
Here are some links if you need to tool up for fermenting, including the three types of lids I show in the video, and a couple of options for glass weights:

The Guide to Lacto-Fermentation: How To Ferment Nearly Anything
I get that this sounds weird, but this is a super easy way to ferment nearly any vegetable in your kitchen. All you need is a vegetable, salt, and some water, and you are good to go. It's that easy. Also, this is not the most perfect day to upload my new series fermentation Friday because well...It's not Friday! Hope you guys can forgive me on that start off. These are supposed to be (and will be from now on) on Friday. With that said, welcome to Fermentation Friday Episode 1!
