All About Pickles!

Do you have an abundance of cucumbers and zucchini from the end of year harvest? I know that I always end up with way more than I know what to do with. So this article is ALL about pickles!

What better way to celebrate a pickling party than to give you an article with all of the wonderful recipes we have used and loved over the years?

Now, you can really pickle just about anything. I love to have a variety sitting on my shelves. I love even more to be able to gift beautiful jars of pickled goods to friends and family.

When we have gatherings, being able to bring up a jar of my homemade pickles to put out, or two, is so rewarding and tasty!

Without further ado here is a wonderfully compiled list of all of our favorite pickled goodies here at Food-Life-Design!

I am a big time beet lover. They are one of those things that you either love or hate. For me, roasting them is my favorite. But I do love them fresh and I really love them pickled as well. I guess just give me a beet and I’ll be a happy gal.
