Pickles and Preserves Only, Pu-lease.

Gardens are coming in, in full season, or heading out of season, depending on where you live, so the season of seriously preserving the harvest for winter is upon us.

Suggested postings to this thread are for pickling and preserve recipes for end of season crops that aren't usually pickled, for unusual or uncommon favorite recipes that are not found in the back of the likes of "Joy of Cooking," or to post a really, really good variant of a common recipe that you have first-hand (taste) experience with, and think it stands out above many other recipes for, say, chowchow. If you know the published source of the recipe, it would be good to cite it, to give credit where credit is due.

It will come as no surprise, that I have a few recipes in mind with which to start, and will post them in the next 2-3 posts.
