I'm pickling a batch of gherkins. I'm following the instructions of Sally Fallon in Nourishing Traditions. After a week my pickling brine has gone cloudy and it smells like chinese pickled spinach. I remember store bought pickled gherkins are clear. Is my whole batch gone? What I added extra was a couple of chillis and some lemon balm leaves for the top.
@khooleos,
I wonder if the seal wasn't perfect (and I'm bumping up your topic).
