Let's Make Pickled Gherkins

Image
 Hi, I mentioned how to make pickles in another blog before. Btw, my favorite is gherkins. Today, my mum is making pickles for the winter, and I wanted to share it with you. Let's see what she did in the kitchen few hours ago. Beforehand, she had bought pickle ingredients. She knows what is better for what. She came home and started to make it. Firstly, she started with washing the gherkins. While mom was cleaning the gherkins, my grandmother was peeling off the garlic. She sliced four lemons into quarters. Then, put gherkins neatly in the jar. While putting, she put lemons and garlic between each layer until the jar is full. On the other hand, she mixed rock salt,  vinegar, lemon salt and water and poured into the jar. She put the jar cool, dry and dark place. We will eat it after a month. Here is the pickles mom made it today. Our dear pickle, please be ferment quickly...

I still feel strange in this city since we moved recently. Since we were moving, we ate everything in the deep freezer before. Now it's high time we filled the deep freezer again. My mom cooks very well and is diligent but it is hard to do winter preparation only in person. So mom and grandma are making the preparation together. Let's look at what we do for winter.
