Except one suggestion - Never eat a huge platter of multiple different yummy pickled things and then drink beer all on an empty stomach... it leads to a stomach ache. I know this from experience, a little to much sour for an unfed gut.
Anyways, next time you are in the mood for pickled items, make them yourself! They are so much yummier when home made, because they taste so fresh and are much crisper when you eat them, also, they are SOOO much cheaper!
I made three jars of pickled food for under $5!
Here goes my recipe....
PICKLED CARROTS, JALAPENOS AND RADISHES
- 1 chopped purple onion
- 3 large carrots
- 3 large jalapeños
- approximately 10 radishes
- salt and pepper (whole pepper corns are best) to taste
- 5 whole garlic cloves
- a little garlic powder
- 3 green onions (chopped)
- approximately 1 cup white vinegar
- a dash of sugar in each jar
Fill jars with all your chopped goodies, then add salt, pepper, sugar and garlic powder, fill half way with vinegar and the rest with water (you can do all vinegar, but I find doing half water makes it just a little less sour in a good way) Shake and let sit at least one day :)
TIP - I like to keep old tomato sauce jars and peanut butter jars that are glass, wash them and boil them and re use them :) Just make sure you are cleaning them properly. Also if you want to gift these, you can go out and buy some mason jars, however, you can also just cover the lid with some kraft paper and some cute string or even a nice fabric :)
