I love Bread & Butter Pickles, but have always been disappointed that the ones in the store have no probiotics in them, even the ones from companies that sell Dill Pickles with probiotics like Bubles, so I was thrilled to come across this recipe.
I made up two batches of these. I used a larger Fido Jar for the first batch, perhaps a quart and a half, and a 1 quart wide mouth mason jar for the 2nd and used 1/2 cup of Pure Dark Amber Maple Syrup in both, along with the celery seed, turmeric, and whole yellow mustard seeds.
It's been 5 days now, and I gave them a taste this evening to see how they were coming along and was surprised to find there was no sweetness to them at all. I absolutely added 1/2 cup of the syrup to each mix, as the recipe indicated, but after 5 days of fermenting, there is absolutely no sweetness that I can taste at all.
Have you run into this before...? Do I need to pour out a bit of the brine perhaps and add another 1/2 cup of syrup to each jar...? What would you suggest...? I'm a bit disappointed at the moment, as I had been so looking forward to getting some good sweet and sour chips with the probiotics that I've been looking for for so long, but from what I tasted this evening, right now this recipe isn't doing it... I'd appreciate any suggestions that might help make this recipe turn out right...
