Its aim is to provide essential information, techniques, and tips for successful home and small-scale pickle production. The book discusses the process of brining, which involves immersing vegetables in a saline solution to preserve them through fermentation. LeFevre explains the equipment and supplies needed for the pickling process, covering different types of pickles such as salt, sour, sweet, dill, and mixed varieties. The text provides detailed instructions on the fermentation process, the importance of maintaining brine strength, and troubleshooting common issues like soft pickles or spoilage.
