check out the chutneys and indian based relishes (often called
pickles -- not the cucumber kind, but this is what they call them e.g.
"garlic pickle"). or i would just chop them up and can them like
i would can pickled beets as they could be used in big pots of chili or
sweet and sour soups, sauces, etc.
