In reply to Megan. Hi Megan, sure - you can. Adding vinegar will prolong the shelf life of pickles.

Is it possible to can these recipes to make their shelf life longer or is this as long as they will last at all? Most of my canning recipes have a shelf life of 6 months -1 year which is perfect for canning to last through the winter months.

I see you feature cucumber spears and slices in your photos, yet your fermented cukes are whole. Can you ferment spears and slices??

In reply to Hopkintonrunner. Hi, you will need to let the brine cool down to the room temperature before you pour it over cucumbers.

Do you use the brine hot or do you let it cool down first before adding it to the jar.?
