I never seem to have a great deal of success with pickling my chillis. They do the job, which is the bottom line, but they are usually a soggy mess.
I soak them first in a brine solution, sterilised jars etc, but?
The brine solution. I was told to use a "pickling salt", but no-one had ever heard of it at the stores I went to.
- Anyone use pickling salt, or is it bollocks?
- Do you prick the chilli with a steel skewer during this part, or when you place them in the pickling solution or at all?
I'd simply freeze them all, but with this being the season for breeding pythons too, Ive got an abundance of mice/rats in the freezer so;
- bugger all space
- a wife that gets prickly at the thought of her two most hated things clogging up the space that there is!!
Any tips related to the brine especially will be muchly regarded
cheers, John
