Best FODMAP pickles!
These are so delicious and super easy to make! We eat A LOT of pickles at my house and was really missing them when we started the LOFO diet. I want to can them they are so good! Has anyone done it? How did it turn out?
That is fantastic to hear Mara!
We do not suggest canning these pickles as the recipe is not designed to be shelf stable for long periods. Thanks for the feedback 🙂
Hi can you use this recipe for canning to store in cabinet?
Hi Dawn,
Thanks for your question. We don’t suggest canning with this recipe as it is not designed to be shelf stable for long periods. Hope you like the pickles!
Have you tried this recipe with other low FODMAP vegetables? Would it work the same?
Hi Leanne,
We actually have not tried it with other vegetables and couldn’t provide you feedback on whether it would turn out or not. Feel free to try and let us know! Of course, remember this is not for shelf-stable pickles, so you can’t leave them in the pantry. Good luck 🙂
i dont have any dill. is there another spice that might work as well?
Hi Katie,
Thanks for the question! The dill provides that familiar flavor of pickles, but you could also make the recipe without them as there are the other flavors from the bay leaf and peppercorns. Good luck 🙂
I DON’T HAVE FRESH DILL, BUT I HAVE DRIED.
I looked online and it says: For a 3-5″ (8 to 12 cm ) sprig of fresh dill, you can substitute 1/4 teaspoon of dried dill weed.
In your opinion would this be the correct amount of dried?
Hi Cheri,
Thanks for the question! Your conversion sounds correct. However, we have not tried dried dill in this recipe, so we can’t comment on whether your end result will taste the same. Let us know what you find out!! 🙂
