Fantastic Pickles I Made This Summer
(A "remember to do next year" post)
Begin with this recipe. Recall that the vinegar will not cover the veg slices. Because any thinly sliced vegetable is fantastic in this recipe, and also green or yellow or purple beans.
-Do actually get the pickling cucumbers at the farmer's market
-you can totally make these in quart ziplocs, if you're taking them to someone's house, because no one else understands that glass jars are sacred.
-Add garlic to the above recipe. And also a little honey because it's kind of harsh. And use about half of the salt because other people thought it was overboard, too. Use big flowers of dill when you can get them, in addition to chopped, because pretty.
-Radishes would be fantastic. Try that next year.
-to one of the jars, add hot pepper flakes and cracked black pepper
-Green or Yellow or Purple beans with onion, red pepper, and garlic
-Yellow squash, green beans, red pepper, garlic
-zucchini with garlic and slices of hot pepper
-Beets with garlic chives and fresh oregano
-Beet with oregano and onion and thyme. And garlic. Use more honey.
-Kohlrabi with chives and sage and a lot of garlic and some thinly sliced white onion.
-At Pesach, beg someone who owes you favors to pick up bottles of as many kinds of kosher vinegar as possible. (There are several such people, at least inasmuch as grabbing a few things that you'll pay them back for or even front them cash for is concerned.) Although you can do a lot with Heinz and a little honey and some onion and garlic powder.
-If you come into a bounty of scapes again, make a jar of just scape pickles
-You also wanted to try jalapenos. Add garlic.
Also, call Mom for the red onion, garlic, olive oil, fancy vinegar and salt pickle that goes on the watermelon-avocado salad.
