Book Description

Publication Date: March 28, 2002

They're a must for every pantry, indispensable food pick-me-ups that enliven any meal. So, get in a pickle! Making everything from classic sweets to spiced Italian plums is easy, fast (often less than an hour), economical, and fun. Follow tips for safe pickling, including how to select and prepare equipment. Choose and handle products correctly for the best results. Check the simple 14-step list for no-fail results. And--because it's integral to the process--produce your own vinegar, from cider-based to fruit-infused. Begin with kitchen essentials, like irresistible Maui Barbecue Marinade; Pickled Ginger, great with grilled meats; Tomatillos and Jalapeños; and Purple Pickled Eggs. Go tart and tangy (Asparagus with Lemon Verbena, Eggplant with Mint) or fruity (Peaches Supreme, Rhubarb Angelica). Among the marvelous meals are Moroccan Chicken with Safi Lemon and Olives, Fusilli with Golden Pasta Sauce, and Stuffed Grape Leaves. Prepare a bounty and eat healthily and creatively.
