Pickled cucumbers with tomatoes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use apple cider vinegar for a slightly fruitier flavor, but keep the acidity level the same (typically a 1:1 substitution).
Properly sealed and stored in a cool, dark place, they can last up to 1 year. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2 weeks.
Yes, substitute sugar with a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or skip it entirely, but note that the brine flavor will be less balanced.
Yes, sterilizing ensures no bacteria interferes with fermentation, even if storing in the fridge later.
Absolutely! Bell peppers, onions, or garlic cloves work well, but adjust brine volume if adding more veggies.
This helps create a vacuum seal and ensures even distribution of the brine for proper preservation.
Yes, add 1 tsp dried herbs per jar for extra flavor, but fresh herbs give a brighter taste.
Discard if you see mold, cloudy brine, bulging lids, or an off smell. Properly sealed pickles stay crisp and fragrant.
Salt is critical for preservation, but you can reduce it by 25% if eating within a month—just refrigerate after opening.
