Any recommendations on pickling vegetables? I curry pickled some
cauliflower this past weekend, and am not really interested in pickling
cucumbers. Any suggestions?

This is probably the last answer you want to hear but I say..... Okra!!!
We put some up last weekend and should be ready the end of Oct. They
really are good but not to many people like okra. I really enjoy them.
The recipe we used was the same as for what is called "dilly beans". You
could try that but I still say Okra!

Sincerely, Helen

I don't do much pickling, but my favorites that I buy (other than pickled
cukes) are pickled okra, asparagus, carrots and green beans.

I love pickles! Pickled Veggies, Pickled Eggs, Pickled Pigs Feet, Anything
Pickled!!!

Just some ideas I thought I'd throw your way.

Then they don't know what they're missing. Here in NC we have okra served
in many, many forms. I'm partial to fried, but love it steamed as well.

I really enjoy them.

Care to share the recipe?

In season, we've pickled all of the following with great results:
Asparagus, green & yellow beans, peppers (both hot & sweet),
cauliflower, eggplant, garlic, beets, pearl onions and snap peas.
Not to mention your eliminated cucumbers which make great pickles,
i.e. dills, curried dills, sweet pickles, mixed mustard pickles, mixed
curried pickles, etc.
Take a look at rec.food.preserving.

This recipe is for Dilly Beans but the gal we got it from told us to use
it for out okra too.

Dilly Beans or Okra

2 lbs green beans or okra
4 dill heads
4 cloves garlic
1 tsp cyan pepper (we used dried red chilies from the garden)

Mix together in NON-metal (? we used a stainless steel) pan and bring to
a boil:
2 1/2 cups vinegar
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup canning salt

Place whole beans or okra in a jar placing the flower end down. Place
dill, garlic and pepper into each jar. Pour into jars of beans to within
1/2 inch of top of jars. Process 10 minutes in water bath.

They should sit for at least 4 to 6 weeks before getting into them.

I like using the water bath because I take whatever excess veg. I have
from the fruit stand that I don't think will get eaten right away and
blanch and freeze them while the water is still hot after doing any
canning. It means only 1 set up but lots of variety goes into the
freezer.

This week we did a little corn and squash after the okra was finished
and did not seem like a chore since it was all set up.

Sincerely, Helen

Now that sounds interesting. It may be to late for me this year but can
try it next year. Had to send the link to my PC, can't get it to come up
but will take a look see in the morning. Thanks much, should be
different and worth trying.

Very Sincerely, Helen

Where I live, that is a great price for asparagus.... have you ever
eaten pickled or pickled it yourself? I haven't so would like to hear
more. I might be able to fit this in this year if I can get it locally
for a good price. Any info you can give me would be appreciated. Is it
good, never tried that???
