I agree with Worth -- toss them. You have no way of knowing what they were packed in as far as ratios of water/salt/vinegar. |

ok tossed them.i also had to toss my first batch of peppers.i put alot of pickling spices in them and started talking to a guy on a ferminting foarm he said i need to get rid of all the spices because if they float to the top it could make mold start but to no avail to many spices so i tryed putting a little extra v olive oil on top to keep the seeds from the air but the co2 could excape the the guy said oil is realy bad cause of botulism so i tosed them and started over

Charley keep it simple.
Two to three tablespoons of canning salt to one quart of non chlorinated water. That is it. Once the top of the canning jar lid starts showing pressure let it off every day or so. No need for fancy anything to start out. Once you get the confidence you can start fooling aground. I highly doubt that you could have cultivated botulism with the oil but you dont need to nor do you want to use it. Worth |

The cucumbers will be deli style in about 5 days.
Remember temperature has everything to do with how fast they ferment and how they come out. 5 to 10 degrees can make a huge difference. Why am I up at 3 AM? I have to be in Austin at 5 AM. ![]() Worth |

Charley no need to worry trust me.
If you put anywhere close the the right amount of salt to pure water you will be fine. Are they bubbling and producing gas? I can promise you will know if it isn't going right there is no way you will get past the smell to eat them. You dont get sick from fermenting you get sick from improper canning. But you would have to be an idiot to do that even. Once you get past this scared stage you will be hooked. I always have something fermenting. Worth |
