Last summer I had a goal- I was going to learn how to can local produce so I could eat it throughout the year. I bought some books with great excitement. That’s about all I did. I never bought any special canning equipment, and I’m not likely to buy it this year either. Why? Not because I’m lazy. It’s because the first recipe I tried was for Olive Oil Pickles and they turned out so delicious that I olive-oil-pickled everything. Best decision ever.
Here’s my favorite olive oil pickle recipe from the book The Joy of Pickling by Linda Ziedrich.
- Approximately 1 pound small or medium-size pickling cucumbers
- 2 small onions, thinly sliced
- 4 tsp pickling salt
- 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes
- 2 TB whole yellow mustard seeds
- Approximately 1.5 cups apple cider vinegar
- olive oil
