Since my squash plants have engulfed my garden, my thoughts have turned to pickles. I've been pickling since my child labor days of stuffing sliced peppers into sterile jars. Pickled peppers are still my favorite, especially the hot ones. But you can pickle just about anything, from Jerusalem artichokes to zucchini. You can even fry pickles. Here are some of my favorite pickle recipes from my co-workers. I'd love to hear about yours.
- Kosher Garlic and Dill Pickles
- Pickled Jalapeños
- Zuni Cafe-Style Zucchini Pickles
- Jerusalem Artichoke (Sunchoke) Pickles
- Crispy Fried Pickles

our local foodbank had an over-abundance of radishes, i got a 14 pound box of beautiful radishes. well,what can you do? i pickled about 10 pounds. i used 2cups water to 2 cups white vinegar, 1/2 tsp. salt per pint. boil the brine and pour over radishes packed in sterile jars and seal them up. they’re good in salads, or just munchies.
Dot, you always surprise me. I don’t know why I’ve never thought to pickle radishes. I love hot, spicy, crunchy food. I will definitely have to give them a try.
Zucchini pickles! I’ve never tried that! Thanks for the links.
