When you pickle, whatever you’re pickling will release juice that adds to the brine! I never fill my pickle jar all the way to the top / I always leave some room for more liquid (also I don’t can, so don’t look to me for food safety questions about canning procedures, but this is probably a thing that isn’t recommended because I think air is bad?). The first photo, I took just before putting these pickled peaches in the fridge at 4:45pm; the second photo is from 1pm; and the final photo is from just after the brine came off the stove, piping hot at 9:30am. The liquid will keep coming while the jars sit in the fridge. Oh, and the little jar is a gift for a friend who agrees with me that we should pickle everything... but the big jar is for ME! . . . #planalittleeatalot #food #prep #pickledpeaches #pickledpeach #peaches #peach #summerproduce #🍑 #homepickles #sweetpickles #brine #balljar #balljars https://www.instagram.com/p/B1mex0Vpmau/?igshid=cylpu5pbk26f
