parley view parsnip...pickles again

My Monday post about what is going on around my home in
Tucson, Arizona


The continuing saga of my different approaches to  pickling veggies.
The first jar has the jalapenos, carrots and garlic daughter made
along with the almost completely gone small jar of the jalapeno candy.

 For a quick pickling I often use the juice left in any store bought jar of pickles
and add what every veggie I have on hand, today it was carrots.

Last week Daughter came over and made oven dried tomatoes.
After cutting the tomatoes for roasting we take the "guts" out and instead of throwing them away
you mix them with chopped cucumber, small slice of any pepper, vinegar
and a bit of sugar.  Perfect !
So good as a dressing and a relish.

All my pickles are happily stored on a shelve in my frig.

I can't put them in the over stocked door shelves
because of all the Asian and Indian sauces and spices I use in my cooking.
I have a very small refrigerator.

Now for the good stuff to start the week
