The "pickle factory" is in full swing.

Though unfortunately my first jar seems to be bad, unhappy aroma, odd taste, and if it doesn't taste nice it goes. (I am the taste tester lol, if I am horribly ill we will know not to eat those pickles... though TBH I think the smell alone rules those ones out. I only nibbled a tiny bit, which I spat out.)

I make all these at 2% salt by weight (solids + water).

The established three are filtered tap water with some "Himalayan pink salt", the latest one at the bottom is bottled Co-Op water with Maldon sea salt. I pretty much always add fresh dill if I have it, some chilli, and some garlic... I like the garlic in there but it can also produce concerning aromas 😂

Didn't measure the honey & vinegar (added to taste while blending; was 🔥 so added a fair bit of honey then a bit of agave nectar too)

The sliced carrots in it were so tasty (before blending - tasted one) - going to set some pickled carrots like that
