What are Polske Ogorki Pickles like?
Joanne
wondered how they differ from dill pickles. Also, in spite of the fact
that I see them everywhere they have never been on a platter at a
party I have attended.
Yes, you could/will probably say to me "so just buy some and find
out"; what stops me is that I don't like sweet pickles and I wonder
if they fall into that catagory. Don't want to waste a perfectly good
jar of anything.
Thanks.

You could read the ingredients. Sugar and HFCS pretty good indicators
that something is sweet.

They make a good baby dill pickle. I don't know if all they make is sour
pickles or if they might make sweet and/or "bread and butter" pickles too.
I guess you'll have to read the label and see how much sugar is in them.

Thanks to everyone, I don;t know why but in all these years it has
never occured to me to reach down and look at the ingredients list,
something I do withalmost everything else! I'm a goof!
I will give them the old taste test next week.

There two main types of cucumber pickles in Poland. They are either made
with salt brine or vinegar marinade. Neither one of them is sweet.
BTW, Polskie Ogorki means 'Polish cucumbers' in Polish, so I assume this
is just a brand of pickles that you are asking about.

Thanks Monika
No, the only ones I have ever seen are one of the varieties made by
"Bicks", usually sitting between their Dills and their Gerkins. I
guess that they are using the term generically. I'm going to give them
a try next time I have shopping to do, finally putting to rest many
years of casual curiousity.

Polski ogorki are naturally fermented without vinegar,
like sourkraut. They are a bit salty and not at all sweet.
Dill, grape leaves, black pepper, no turmeric, depending
on your taste. Whatever sugar was used to cultivate the
yeast is consumed in the fermentation. I have a crock of
same in my fridge as we speak. See Strybl's Polish Heritage
Cookery.

I find Polski ogorki not as crisp, a tad softer than the standard dill
type. The taste is not that much different then a garlicy dill.

This has been my experience, as I do not lime the cukes first and I do
add garlic. The advantages and disadvantages of liming I'll leave to
the gurus at rec.food.preserving, under her Most Puissant Imperial
Majesty Barbara.... BTW: I her that the position is hereditary based
on merit: She inherits it from herself each year at the State Fair....

If they were made with salt brine, it means they were kept too long.
Home made pickles I used to make, always started crispy, but with time
softened and lost their body.

pickling spice (the best I've tried), dried dillweed+dill seeds, and
twice the garlic, and I use RO water, reverse osmosis filtered water
is purer than bottled. Just yesterday I put up two quarts of spears
(quartered longitudinally) to join the two gallons of wholes. It's
been ten days so the gallons are now in the fridge, will likely dive
in tomorrow.
Tonight's dinner; a 3.3 pound family pack of skinless boneless chick
breasts sliced into cutlets and marinating in soy sauce, freshly
ground white peppercorns, ginger powder, white box wine, a wee bit
sesame oil, and a heaping tbls orange marmalade... to be sauted.
Will be accompanied by buttered wide egg noodles tossed w/brussel
sprouts.
Yes, and all reused jars so sue me:

This easy recipe for Polish dill pickles is known as ogórki kiszone.
It is easily adaptable to make 1 quart or as many quarts as you like.

I put up a batch most every year. You will need very fresh pickling
cukes (Kirbys), I grow my own and harvest them small (3"-4") before
they become seedy. The salad cucumbers at market won't work as
besides their thick skin they are waxed, The pickling cucumbers sold
at market are usually too old for good results, they'll become
soft/mushy rather than Krrrisp!
