In a Pickle: Pickled Golden Beets
Beets haters are one thing but some people object to beets strictly because they make a mess in the kitchen. And it's true, red beets do bleed all over the place when peeled and sliced. But when you opt for golden beets, you get all the sweet, earthy flavor of beets but without the risk of staining your countertops and cutting boards.In a Pickle: Pickled Nectarine Slices
I believe it's time to bring back pickled fruit. With so many people reacquainting themselves with the combined flavors of fruit and vinegar in the form of drinking vinegars and shrubs, pickled fruit is the natural next step.In a Pickle: Pickled Chinese Long Beans
Chinese long beans make excellent pickles. Though I've been making dilly beans out of conventional green beans for years, these are different. The beans are tightly spiraled into the jar so that they hugged the glass. In the center of the jar were a few broken bits of beans nudged up against a collection of cracked garlic cloves, wintry spices and pungent, puckery brine. All markers of a perfect pickle.In a Pickle: Pickled Red Tomatoes
Late summer and its joyous glut of tomatoes is a bittersweet time for a canner. Tomatoes signal the end of summer fruit and bring with them the knowledge that the growing season is nearing its end. However, there's just so darn much that can be done with tomatoes that the possibilities make this preserver positively giddy.In a Pickle: How to Make Garlic Dill Pickles
I was raised to believe in the power of the pickle. Turkey sandwiches required a layer of carefully blotted garlic dills. Giant dinner salads weren't done until the pickled beets were passed. And don't even get me started on the idea of a hot dog without some sour pickle relish. It was unthinkable. Homemade pickles aren't complicated, and since I've learned how easy it is to pickle at home, I haven't looked back at the store-bought variety. Here are a few things you should know before getting started.The Nasty Bits: Pickled Tongue Sandwiches
Squeamishness aside, the tongue is such an appealing cut: tender and fatty, and delicate in taste (unlike kidneys or liver, for instance, which have a more distinctive flavor). I enjoy tongue sandwiches. Like corned beef or pastrami, the thin slices of tongue are so rich and satisfying that it's perfect between two slices of rye bread. All it needs is some horseradish and mustard, and maybe a dill pickle.Snapshots from Sweden: Celebrating Herring Weekend in Marstrand and Klädesholmen
Today, millions of people in Sweden (and beyond) are beginning their Midsummer celebrations with maypoles, dancing, bonfires, snaps, strawberries, and loads of pickled herring with new potatoes. When there's a holiday to be celebrated in Sweden, pickled herring can't be far away.Snapshots from Europe: Solæg, or Pickled Eggs
When drinking in watering holes in the border area between Germany and Denmark you'll often see a tall jar glass filled with rust-colored pickled eggs submerged in a slightly muddy-looking liquid on the table. In Denmark these are called "Solæg" and supposedly originated from the region of Southern Jutland (Jutland being the Danish peninsula connected to Northern Germany).Meet & Eat: Delilah Snell, Certified Master Food Preserver in Southern California
The 1970s may have seen the growth of the organic food industry and environmental policy, but Delilah Snell did not grow up in the kind of home that placed any importance on eating organic or caring for the environment. Her parents worked at one of the biggest oil companies in the country and even at the age of 34, Snell is still the black sheep of her family. After taking a three-month master food preservation course, she started a fledgling small-batch business called Backyard in a Jar.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
