The Joy of Pickling, first published in 1998, has long been considered the go-to guide for those who like it sour, salty, and tangy. Pickling is a way of preserving food that has been practiced for centuries, and the recipes in The Joy of Pickling showcase the wide variety of pickling recipes and methods found around the world. Recipes for familiar fermented dill pickles are here, such as Lower East Side Full-Sour Dills and Russian Dill Pickles, as are Old-Fashioned Bread-and-Butters. But cucumber pickles are just the beginning: Author Linda Ziedrich has also included more exotic pickles such as Spicy Pickled Cauliflower, Japanese Pickled Ginger, Cabbage and Radish Kimchi, Extra Sweet Pickled Cherries, and Salsa Verde. There are chapters on fresh, sweet, quick, and freezer pickles, as well as cabbage pickles, miso and soy pickles, pickle relishes, and even pickled meat, seafood, and eggs. This new edition features a completely revised introduction and information on the very latest in pickling techniques, procedures, safety, and equipment, as well as dozens of brand-new recipes. Whether you've been making your own pickles for years or are just discovering how simple and fun pickling is, The Joy of Pickling is a must-have guide!
