Dr. Bashioum’s Garden Homemade Pickles
September 26th, 2014
As the gardening season comes to a close in Wayzata, I’m experimenting with pickles again this year. This jar marks the first successful recipe that I’ve tried which proved to be edible and have also remained crunchy. I’ve learned that adding a small piece of horseradish leaf in the brine helps to keep that crunch. The cucumbers I grew this year are a yellow variety that have tender skin, making them especially great for salads, too without having to peel them. While it’s always disappointing to have an early frost, the bonus of having a few warm days ahead in the forecast make the task of winding up my gardening chores a more pleasant task.
