pickle facts
Old-time picklers couldn't accurately measure the salt needed for making pickle brines, since the density of commercially bought salt varied from year to year. To get around this potential problem-too little or too much salt can cause pickles to spoil-many recipes recommended using "enough salt to float an egg" in the brine. While this method yielded fermented pickles that could keep all winter, they were too salty to be eaten. Picklers had to soak the pickles in water for days to make them edible.

Pickles played an important role in Colombus's discovery of America in 1492. Around the time of Colombus, many transoceanic voyages were thwarted because crews suffered from scurvy, a disease caused by lack of vitamin C. Colombus's ship stocker, a man named Amerigo Vespucci, stored ample quantities of vitamin C-rich pickles on the Niña, Pinta, and Santa Maria, helping to prevent scurvy outbreaks on the historic voyage across the Atlantic. As it turns out, America's name is derived from the pickle merchant Vespucci, who became an explorer.

history of the pickle
The history of pickles stretches so far back into antiquity that no definite time has been established for their origin, but they are estimated to be over 4,000 years old.

In 2,030 B.C., cucumbers native to India were brought to the Tigris Valley. There, they were first preserved and eaten as pickles.

Cucumbers are mentioned at least twice in the Bible (Numbers 11:5 and Isaiah 1:8) and history records their usage over 3,000 years ago in Western Asia, ancient Egypt and Greece.

I made 12 quarts of dill pickles one time when my kids were young. The recipe sounded great, borrowed from an older lady who knew what a nice crunchy dill was. Only problem is I thought you could eat one of the pickles a few hours later. How do you spell TERRIBLE? I thought I'd messed up, and i threw out all twelve jars, only to find out later that dills have to sit and let all those goodies soak into them for flavor. Mine were all vinagery, like Aunt Bea's on Mayberry RFD.
