plumtreeblossom: (farmer boot)
I was puttering around in my balcony garden, admiring the rapid growth of my four cucumber plants which will one day yield pickling fodder, when the phrase "bourbon pickles" randomly popped into my head. I'd never heard of such a thing, so I had to google it.

Well, whataya know! I guess there's nothing new under the sun. It seems bourbon lends itself better to pickling fruit than vegetables, particularly peaches and fresh apricots, according to the recipes I found. Very sweet and spicy with brown sugar syrup, ginger, cinnamon, clove and such. Now there's something I've never tried. I can't grow my own peaches and apricots due to lack of a place to put a tree, but that's what the farmer's market is for. I'll try it this summer!
