Been looking for test (not batch) pickle juice recipes equivalent to one singular atypical jar in order to home in on ingredient mixes that aren’t wasteful in testing & subsequent uptake for a larger batch.
Anyone seen anything that almost “serious eats” & other similar noted food sites that does this en masse to find your favourite pickle mix?
To give an example of finally, FINALLY having the context / history of “bread & butter pickles” explained properly after goodness knows how many years of being net-bombed with “best, ultimate, …etc etc bread & butter pickles” someone deigned to state pickled cucumber sandwiches being a depression era stomach filler with some pronounced flavour that kept over numerous seasons in storage as a hardship solution… never knew, always though it related to the pickle juice recipe & the cucumber used.
With that in mind it means I don’t necessarily need specialist cucumber varieties etc (simplifying everything somewhat) …so I can concentrate on small test pickle brines across different vegetables with +/- ingredients (e.g not a fan of turmeric, just as I wasn’t a fan of bland paprika which was all I’d ever been exposed to back in the day, …wholesaler crap for colouring not flavour)
SO, for example 6 small jars with pickled cucumbers each with one more ingredient than the last to find what hits the spot. (not too dissimilar from blending distillate to achieve a satisfactory bottle of whatever whilst avoiding the rough notes that induce the hangover)
If you have a link secreted away, please share your knowledge.
Cheers
Gus

Not yet read through, but it appears to deal with small quantities rather than just big batches.
