cucumbers into plckles?

tell him to add 2 oz.`s of white vinegar to his mixture and taste them every 7 days, usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to get close to store bought pickles.

You can start eating them any time. The flavor will be lighter and milder than processed pickles but quite tasty.

From What i read here:

http://www.pickyourown.org/makingpickles.htm

you use vinegar instead of pickle juice.

i think pickle juice is vinegar with some cucumber juice or something.

That probably won't work that well but I would say maybe a week for them to soak up flavor.

If he wants to try again he should use this recipe:

It is really easy and tasty and involves no cooking. Also it is really good with thinly sliced carrots in it.

google pickling cucumbers!
