Makes the transformation of vegetables into pickles easy and fun!
Pickled vegetables, also known as live-cultured foods, are alive with probiotic bacteria that offer a wide array of health benefits, including improved digestion, enhanced immunity, and improved intestinal health!
Live-cultured vegetables are a part of the diets of many of the world's most long-lived people. Adding cultured vegetables to your diet is easy and inexpensive with the Perfect Pickler. The Perfect Pickler works through a low-salt fermentation method that uses just a bit of Celtic Sea Salt® Brand salt, spring water, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Unlike most store-bought pickles that are fermented with vinegar and contain refined sugars, homemade pickles made in the Perfect Pickler are alive with friendly microflora, great for the digestive system, and bursting with vitamins, minerals, and life-giving enzymes. You can make old-world style pickles right on your kitchen countertop in only four days!!
All Perfect Picklers come with a glass canister and lid assembly, spacer cup, and instruction book (with recipes).
Bill Hettig, the creator of the Perfect Pickler, recently visited us here at Selina Naturally™ for a pickling demonstration. While here, he shared this new recipe with us for Limey Onion Pickles. We love it!
Limey Onion Pickles
12 cups red onion (about 2 lb.), cut into thin half-rounds
Zest from 1 lime
2 teaspoons whole cumin seed, toasted and finely ground
1/4 cup brine from a previous batch (optional)
Juice from 2 limes
2 tablespoons Celtic Sea Salt® Brand salt
4 cups filtered spring water
Toss onion, zest, and ground cumin in a large bowl. Pack into the Perfect Pickler. Add brine from previous batch, if using.
In a separate bowl or pitcher, dissolve the salt into the water. Pour into Perfect Pickler, up to 1 inch from the top.
Assemble Perfect Pickler (following instructions). After four days of fermentation, add the lime juice and refrigerate.
Note: This recipe is also very good with sweet onions like Vidalia or Texas Sweet.
