What's that you ask? Fruit pickles? Yes! I've recently been cued in to the tradition of pickling fruits that fell out of fashion some years ago and is making a resurgence among the home-canning crowd. Serious Eats provided the recipe which only took about 45 minutes to an hour to complete, beginning to end. I might have sneaked a little taste after the nectarines were blanched in brine and managing restraint from that point forward was a challenge. This batch of sweet pickles will be a tasty treat this winter.
I ended up with a large amount of brine leftover, making me think I should have split the nectarine slices into a fourth jar. Instead I am keeping the sweetened, fruity vinegar bottled in the refrigerator to use on salads and other delights.
Have you been canning too? Please tell!
