A gallon jar. A few handfulls of cucumbers. A couple grape leaves. Garlic. Pure sea salt and water (3 tablespoons to each quart of water - 'cause someone's gonna ask). A little weight. Time.
Before long I'll have the first batch of summertime half sours!
That's what I made today. Peace.

Ooh, sounds delicious. My mouth is watering.
a nice make - never heard of half sours, they sound tastey! hmmn! didn't know what a quart was either :-/
just googled it 1 quart = 2 pints i've learned something new today ;)
I woulda thought there was vinegar in there somewhere. Thanks for another great recipe.
*imagining that first delicious crunchy bite!* yum!
My mouth is watering! Yum!
Thanks all!
Yeah - half sours are a product of natural - or Wild - fermentation. Like making sauerkraut with just cabbage and salt.
It *really* is that easy. Not only that, but as far as I can tell, there are are no - nadda - zip - zilch - documented cases of food poisoning from this ancient process of preserving food. This, too, is Medicine of the People. :)
oh yum yum yum, summer delights.
Yum yum yum!
YUM! :)
Oh man those look good! I would like to crunch into one of those! I just drooled.
