Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Spicy. Sweet. Tangy. Pickled. Oooh, these are so fabulous. This is a bit of an unusual pickling recipe but it delivers an amazingly tangy, sweet and spicy pickled pepper ring that complements any soup, salad, side dish or meat entree.
As I was looking for ideas on how I could use my freshly picked blackberries, I came across this unusual jelly recipe that included hot peppers. I modified the recipe to fit my taste preferences and made a jam instead of jelly. Everyone loved it!
I saw the hot sauce link on Facebook this morning, here are my contributions. Two sauce recipes, one featuring some peppers I grew in my garden, the other store bought jalapenos. I had no idea what I was doing, but they came out excellent.
These easy pickled jalapeno rings and carrots are a zippy year-round condiment inspired by the pickles from one of my favorite Guatemalan restaurants. They go well with everything from hot dogs and fried chicken, to tacos and burritos.
