  1. Salaams Aysenur, i love pickles and will definately try this, but those 3lt jars I love. I am sure i will not find it here in Namibia where I live. Where can one find those jars.

  2. Oh the pickle shop 😍❤️🥒🫙🫙🫙 Soooo beautiful!! 😋 And your grape vinegar is really lovely 🍇 I love all pickles, but especially beets 💕

  3. Doesn't the salt clump in one place on the veggies when you add the brine? I see a lot of salt remaining in sediment in your Pyrex jug before you pour (asking for cardiovascular reasons).

  4. Thank you for the trip to Istanbul you are sharing more than receipts it s a trip and a passeport to your culture thanks again

  5. I have now fermented cabbage the Turkish way. That is, I added grape vinegar. I also made another jar, to which I added white wine vinegar and the juice of one lemon. The jar with the grape vinegar in particular is bubbling really strongly, which means that the fermentation has started well. Now they have fermented for one week and two days. I am looking forward to the end result and the resulting taste. I will let them ferment for another three weeks, after which I will taste them. 😊

  6. One of my absolute favorite restaurants in the US is run by Turkish immigrants. They make a pickled red cabbage that I could absolutely eat by the bucket. Could you do a video on pickled red cabbage? I would love to try and make it at home!

  7. Assalamualaykum dear. I'm trying this today. Is it ok if my jar is only ¾th filled ?
    Or is it necessary to enusre the jar is filled and full to the top?
    Thanking you in advance.

  8. Avoid using plastic containers as much as possible. Due to their acidic nature, pickles can gradually absorb plastic molecules over time. Although the effects may not be noticeable in the short term, they can lead to cancer in the long run. One of the reasons many people in Turkey have cancer is the production of pickles in plastic containers. Prefer glass jars instead.

  9. Hello, what is the percentage of alcohol in grapes vinegar in Turkye? In Romania it is 9 percent, in USA it is 4.5. thks
