Pickles As Appetizers And How To Make Them
Pickles have little native value yet serve as appetizers if used in moderation for their pungent spicy flavor. Do not give alum in large amounts as it tightens body tissues. Use spices sparingly so they do not overpower the produce. Tie spices in a cloth bag to remove when flavored. loose spices darken pickles. Boiling vinegar too long can create bitterness and dull flavor. Crisp pickles require not overcooking or high heat. Methods: heat vegetables to boiling point in vinegar or pour boiling vinegar over them, draining and reheating for large pieces.
