Synopsis

With the wide array of pickles already available on grocery store shelves, why would anyone bother with a preservation method most associated with our grandmothers? Simple: "Homemade pickles taste better!" In Pickled, author Lucy Norris collects more than 80 recipes of astonishing variety - simple to complex, some of which are ready to eat within 24 hours. And the recipe titles are as inviting as the stories that accompany them: Japanese Dragon Cucumber, Full Moon Cabbage with Pomegranate Juice, Smashed Radish, Green Mango Chit-chi-rias, and Good Mother's Salty Duck Egg. Asian pickles and Indian chutneys are found here, along with traditional American chow-chow and bread-and-butter pickles. Sprinkled throughout are the family stories and historical photos behind each recipe. With the continued proliferation of home vegetable gardens and local farmer's markets, a whole new generation is faced with the question of what to do with a bumper crop of cucumbers...or green beans...or carrots...or cabbage. Lucy Norris offers a tried and true selection of recipes perfect for beginning new family traditions.
