Genuine dill and salt-stock pickles are produced by

  • A.Fermenting cucumbers in brine with lactic acid bacteria
  • B.Soaking fresh cucumbers directly in hot vinegar syrup
  • C.Drying cucumbers in the sun and salting them afterwards
  • D.Heating cucumbers in sealed jars without any brine at all

Answer: A

A genuine pickle is fermented: cucumbers are held in brine while lactic acid bacteria acidify it over days to weeks. Pouring vinegar over unfermented cucumbers makes a fresh-pack or quick-process pickle, which is acidified rather than fermented and tastes quite different.
