Have you ever pickled anything, and if so what?

[Just A Fat Round Bird]

I pickled some green beans and some peppers not too long ago, own harvest. Turned out quite nice. Unintentionally taking a bit after our erverlerd who grew and pickled banana peppers, now that I think about it.

I've done watermelon rind pickles and carnival squash pickles.

Cucumbers I grew. I used a recipe that is similar to claussen's. Cold pickling with calcium chloride is the only way to go. I've contemplated glassing pigeon eggs and then pickling them when I had enough. Has anyone had pickled chicken eggs? What do they taste like?
If you are into fermenting you can honey ferment apples but you need sour cherry leaves which aren't in the US. They are partially carbonated when you bite into them.

No but the spaghetti sauce and chili we made with our tomatoes turned out well this year.

I really enjoy pickled foods. Every year I pickle a bunch of stuff from the garden. Lots of cucumbers and string beans. Have done banana peppers in the past but not in a few years. Carrots come out pretty good but they need to be left alone a while. And of course pickled eggs. Those are delicious.

Since a lot of the equipment used is the same, we also preserve a bunch of stuff at the same time. I've become very fond of making a couple batches of chicken or pheasant soup and preserving those. Venison also reaches its absolute peak of flavor and tenderness if you put it into a Mason jar and run it through the pressure cooker.

Anyone ever try pickling or preserving corn? I've always been wary of preserving corn due to how easily corn can develop botulism. And all of the old guys around where I live say that they don't bother preserving corn and simply freeze it instead. So I usually just put portions in sandwich bags and freeze those. But I bet corn would taste decent if it were pickled and the added vinegar would probably keep everything sterile such that it doesn't turn.

well there are those baby corn cobs that are pickled sweet sour style. Those are actually quite tasty. But for ripe corn freezing is probably the best.

How the fuck did I forget beets? Yeah you're right. They are delicious and incredibly good for you. Beets will also help your body heal faster from injuries. Always eat beets!

Beet you to it.

Bitch.

No but I ate pickled eggs that I bought from a roadside food vendor in rural South Carolina.

Pickled plums. It was supposed to be a good sweet to insert into rice balls, but it ended up just being salty.

Red onions, it's basically pour boiling water and put some vinegar and wait like an hour. I like that sour flavor.

 

[Smug]

This will sound insane but I was given some pickled garlic recently, and it was honestly surprisingly good. Tasted more like a garlic-flavoured pickled onion than anything else.

i do not think you are an insane person
they're basically just like baked garlic, similar taste (it is garlic) but slightly firmer, so it'll keep its shape a bit if you through chunks in or you have the option of squishing it super easily so it has that baked garlic utility too if you want creamy garlic goo, except easier since you can just grab one out of the jar whenever. i think they are very useful

I always keep a jar of pickled red onion in the fridge as an all-purpose condiment. Basically anytime a dish needs a little extra bright, vinegary flavor they come in handy.
Literally all it takes to top it off is to slice a new onion (root to stem, always), and then boil a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar with some salt and fill up any empty space.
