Baking question:

Before I dive into pickling a bunch of vegetables, I have a question I want to ask. How exactly Do you use pickled vegetables? Do you use them as substitutes in recipes? Are they just a snack? How do you use them?

Jared

Definitely a snack for me.

Found this book in the depths of the dark abyss that is my recipe cabinet. Lots of pickle recipes in here I want to try, like Dill Pickles, dilly beans, okra pickles, onion pickles, Pickled cauliflower, Pickled peppers, squash pickles, and zucchini pickles!

Yum! Good find!

I do shortbread thumb prints

Probably similar to mine. Most of my cookies are butter based much like shortbread.
