Cucumbers, garlic, and lemons are ripe for pickling<\/h2>\n\n\n

When I was 2, my mother walked into the kitchen to find me elbow-deep in a nearly empty jar of pickled pepperoncini. She worried I would burn a hole in my stomach with all that spice, but my only concern, apparently, was finding every pepper in the jar. And so concluded my successful first date with pickles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to think of \u201cpickle\u201d as more of a verb than a noun. Most fruits and vegetables, fresh and wonderful as they are in the raw, can be transformed into something far more delicious with the help of a little salt and vinegar. They last longer this way, plus their flavors deepen as they sit in the pantry or back of the fridge. Pickled sugar snap peas, red onion, asparagus, or blueberries: These are powerhouse ingredients that make everything tastier, including a cheese plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, find three of my favorite pickle recipes, each made with a different technique. The first, pickled garlic, is great for summer and early fall when bulbs are at their peak. Pickled in a classic vinegar brine and canned in a water bath, they\u2019re shelf-stable and ready to gift year-round. The second is a quick-pickled cucumber salad that takes just moments of active time and ups the crunch, flavor, and lifespan of the veggies. And the third is a fermented pickle: preserved lemons. I make a big batch of these every year and use them in everything from chicken soup to hummus to cocktails. Each technique works well with other produce, too. Fair warning: Pickling is addictive, so don\u2019t forget to leave room in your refrigerator for other items\u2014such as your favorite wedges and wheels\u2014for pairing.<\/p>\n\n\n
