From pickling Cucumbers, to Pablanos to Cauliflower to baby purple eggplant, I just love the process, (because it is so easy) and I love watching our family and friends faces when they taste them and just don’t believe that I really did the pickles myself!

Would you expect anything else?

Simple Pickling recipe:

• 1/3 dry white wine
• 1/3 white vinegar
• 1/3 sugar
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tsp crushed red chilies
• 1-2 sliced seeded pablano chilies to give your veggies some heat.

Method

• Bring liquid to a boil
• Add the vegetable you want pickling
• Cook veggies until they are tender, (note- I like my pickles to have a crunch, so I under cook them) Leave the veggies in the pickling liquid and let them steep (just like tea) Once the liquid is cool- place in a container and refrigerate-
• People will be blown away that you made your own pickles.
