Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Three springtime pickles: Asian-inspired pickled fiddleheads with cumin, coriander, ginger and garlic; French-inspired pickled ramps; and spiced pickled rhubarb.
A simple, sweet and sour pickle for fresh rhubarb. Flavored with clove, chile, and star anise this is a perfect accouterment for a cheese plate and a novel addition to a light grain-based salad.
These pieces of pickled rhubarb with ginger are great little bites on their own: crunchy, tart, and incredibly tasty, but add them a salad, and you've really got something spectacular!
With rhubarb season soon ending there's no better time to put some away for later than right now! The recipe also shares hints on what you can do with the final product and why we pickle big pieces.
