I like to make pickles every season. When I do, my wife is always asking “Are you going to have any leftover juice” She then fills jars with asparagus spears, cauliflower, onions, or garlic. They are all good in either bread and butter or dill. Another thing that I bought once was pickled brussel sprouts. That sounds nasty, but I tried them and they were good.
That give me an idea. How about a thread devoted to the gentle art of pickling? Perhaps towards the end of summer?
