Pickled Boiled Dirt Chunks
Pickled Boiled Dirt Chunks
Pics on alt.binaries.food.
Follow-up to r.f.preserving
One pint is done. I'll get some more beets and do the other pint later
in the week. Blech!
What are they supposed to taste like? Onions/no onions? Sweet-sour?
I've never eaten them and have no plans to do so. How tender are they
supposed to be? I could stick a toothpick into them with not much
resistance. They'are about 1"-1-1/2" diameter. Whole.
I made the syrup with mixed pickling spice with some cinnamon stick
pieces and cloves added. Got this recipe from a lady at church who
swears there're none better. I wouldn't know.
Whaddaya think?

I can't relate to the idea of cooking without tasting what you're
cooking. -aem

Like pickled beets and onions, I like mine mit onions. I generally slice
them then as I prefer them that way. The dirt flavor really comes out
when they're left whole. <VBG>

You're on the right track but you gotta learn to eat what you cook
and/or preserve or you're just a poseur. Ha!

I'm wondering what you were thinking. You should be dreaming up new
ways to hide jalapeño in jam instead of wasting your time pickling
something you hate.

Personally, I think they taste like heaven.

I do onions, and a sweet & sour syrup of one part water, one part sugar,
one part white vinegar. (I don't truly pickle them, though, so I'm not
sure how that would work.)

I dislike cinnamon and cloves a lot, so I've never done those. I have,
however, put in whole peppercorns, and that was good.

OK, the recipe I used used those ratios of sugar, water, and vinegar.
And some pickling spices.

We should be able to find something that I loathe that you love, and
then we can jack-sprat our way through life. How are you on brussels
sprouts? Lima beans? Fresh papaya? Tangerines?

Sounds yummy. Now all I need to do is figure out how to can them. I do
it the lazy way, and just pour the hot syrup over canned or cooked fresh
beets, and then eat them in a few days, but I'd love to put some up
during beet season.

Your wishes have been met, go here:

They can be canned pretty much like any other acidic food, in a Boiling

I eat it all the time but not in preserves Serene. The web site I sent
you has tons of recipes and surely one of them uses sugar. I make
pickled beets without any sweetener at all and they're pretty good.
