My assault on the world of pickling continues.  The other day I was reading the ingredients to a Thai sweet chili sauce that I really like and I noticed something amazing…….. “pickled red chili”.  TO THE PICKLING CAVE!!!

I made a little base then pickled them there red chili’s. Day 2 and they are starting to get sweeter than the hot fire they were before….I spit hot fire.  Anyway, so yes!  It pickles!

Such is mango.

I was at Fresh Bistro the other the night and the waiter explained how the mangoes were pickled….well, not the steps but he said enough for me to GO TO THE PICKLING CAVE!!!

30 minutes in and they were all sorts of amazing.  Day 2, even better! Ladies and gentlemen,  IT PICKLES!

At work I do pickling with red onions, you’ve probably seen that combination a million times.   I thought, “how about doing some white pearl onions in a red vinegar sweet pickling base”.   TO THE PICKLING CAVE!!!!

30 minutes and the edgyness of the onion was gone and a slight sweet taste was evident.   Day 2, the red wine vinegar plays well with the sweet onion taste better….coloring should change after a week.

I-T P-I-C-K-L-E-S!!!

I had some carrots lying around, a chipotle pepper, that new pickled crushed red pepper, and access to a pickling cave so I was off TO THE PICKLING CAVE!!

My goal with this one is to have the sweet chili taste infused with the carrots sweetness then bring back a little smokey chipotle flavor into the mix.   I’m on fire……IT PICKLES!!!!

Having a pickling cave is awesome.
