 Featured Recipe
Here's a great way to use some of those veggies. I've pickled everything from cucumbers to beets, zucchinni to sugar snap peas.
Quick Pickles
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 rounded teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon mustard seed
1 teaspoon salt
1 clove cracked garlic
1 teaspoon dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill leaves, chopped or snipped
1 bay leaf
4 cucumbers, cut into 1-inch slices or other veggies (if pickling beets or cauliflower, steam until tender before continuing)
Directions:
Heat small saucepan over medium high heat. Add vinegar, sugar, mustard seed, salt, and garlic to the pan and cook until it begins to simmer and sugar dissolves. Toss the dill, bay leaf, and sliced cucumbers together in a heat-proof bowl. Pour the simmering liquid over the cucumbers and stir to evenly coat. Allow to cool to room temperature or chill before serving. | |
