Crocks for Making Pickles and Homemade Sauerkraut

Making Sauerkraut
& Pickles

Brining is a very old method of preserving fresh produce through fermentation. Pickling salt (pure sodium chloride) and water are mixed to create an anaerobic (without air) environment which encourages lactic acid fermentation while discouraging bacteria which cause spoilage. As a side benefit, the brine is perfect for infusing pickles with other flavors such as dill, spices and garlic.
