Pickling

I met Tracy at the Farmer’s Market, which allows us to combine a bike ride and food talk, which when coupled with a cup of a coffee makes for an excellent start to the day. A discussion of making pickles led to inspiration, and the desire to meet my ancestors halfway and store food for the winter, set me on a path of a vinegar infused afternoon.

The end result, 6 jars of refrigerator pickles, 5 jars of pickled carrots and 1 jar of pickled garlic. If that was not excessive enough, I doubled a batch of black bean soup, and could now feed a small village.

Garlic, which I cannot crack into for 30 days
