Module 3 – Raw Packing Pickled Vegetables
This is where everything you’ve learned so far comes together. In this lesson, you’ll apply the science of acidity, brine composition, ingredient selection, and safe food preservation as we prepare two delicious pickled favorites: Pickled Brussels Sprouts and Dilly Beans.
Together, we’ll work through each recipe from beginning to end using the raw pack method, discussing every step along the way and explaining not only what to do, but why it matters. You’ll see exactly how I prepare the vegetables, pack the jars, add the hot brine, and safely process each batch to create crisp, flavorful pickled vegetables you’ll be proud to share.
Along with the lesson, you’ll find printable recipes and step-by-step instructions to keep in your kitchen, making it easy to recreate these recipes whenever fresh produce is in season. These companion resources are designed to reinforce what you’ve learned while giving you the confidence to successfully prepare both recipes on your own.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to raw pack and safely preserve Pickled Brussels Sprouts and Dilly Beans from start to finish.
