Spring Rampage Pickles

Must Try Recipes

Up here in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, these babies are in full bloom right now.

But you could do spring onions if that’s what’s sprouting in your hood. My neighbor brought over this lovely jar of homemade maple syrup. He doesn’t like to boil it down as much as the store-bought stuff. I call it maple honey.

If you don’t have a neighboring farmer making maple syrup or honey, I’m sure you have some neighboring bees making flower honey.

And this is the fun part. Herbs! What herbs are you or your local farmer growing now?

My lovage is forever the first to come soaring out of the ground each spring. Its taste is that of robust Italian parsley with a few ornery celery leaves strewn in. You could always use that mix to replicate this lovely herb. (But make sure those celery leaves are really ornery, like they should be shouting at you).

These pickles, my friends, are positively exploding with the taste of spring! Your turn – gather up a local edible allium, herb and sweetener and we’re in business!
