Can I save these pickles?

Postby kshoffmann on Sat Oct 15, 2016 11:05 am

Hello,
This is my first batch of pickles. I won't go into the details of how I failed (unless you need them), but the end result is very salty and soft. Is it possible to save them by soaking in cold water to pull the salt out, then repacking??
Thanks, Karen

Soaking in fresh water does act to desalinate the pickles. As far as I know, nothing will firm them once they've gone to mush.
