PICKLED PEPPERONCINI
Mildly hot, addictive, medium peppers for Greek salads. It has been very difficult for me to resist eating these as fast as I put them up. They are the star of the year from my 2013 garden. I will pickle as many as I can, give very few away, and grow Pepperoncinis again next year!

Steps:
- Put pint jars (plus 1/2 pint, in case you have too many peppers) and lids in pan with water to boil, along with tongs and canning funnel. Bring to boil while continuing other steps. Reduce heat, or turn off after boiling for 10 minutes.
- Wash peppers in cold water, set aside to drain.
- Bring vinegar, water, and salt to a boil and maintain.
- Drain jars.
- Blanch garlic cloves and place in jars.
- Slit each pepper vertically and pack into jars. (I slit from the base of the stem down the pepper to within 1/4" of the bottom; this way there is no trapped air at the top causing peppers to float upside down, and enough juice to drizzle on the salad in the end of the pepper).
- Pour hot liquid over peppers allowing slightly more than 1/2" head space.
- Carefully pour 1 tablespoon olive oil into jar being very careful not to get any on lid.
- Process, as you wish (10 minutes in boiling water bath), or not. I do not process my pickles.
- Store in cool dark place. Ready in 3 weeks (but I have been known to open a jar the next day), refrigerate after opening.

PICKLED DEVILED EGGS
Before they are deviled, these hard-cooked eggs are pickled in rice vinegar, brown sugar and garlic, along with slivered red onions. The pickling brine dyes the egg whites deep pink, and the onions turn pungently sweet and sour, making a terrific garnish for the deviled eggs. And after the eggs are gone, you'll still be left with plenty of pickled onions that will last for weeks in the refrigerator. Add them to salads, tacos, grilled meats and sandwiches. You won't be sorry to have them on hand.

Steps:
- Put eggs in a large pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to immediately transfer to a bowl filled with ice and water. Let cool, then peel.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, garlic, sugar, kosher salt, peppercorns and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and stir in onions.
- Spoon half of the onion mixture into a 2-quart jar or heatproof container. Add eggs and pour remaining onions and brine over the top. Let cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days.
- Remove eggs from onion mixture and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop yolks into a mini-food processor or blender. Add 1 tablespoon of the pickling liquid, mayonnaise, mustard, pepper and a large pinch of kosher salt. Process until smooth. Spoon into egg halves, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, top with some of the pickled onion and serve.

Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh pepperoncini peppers will provide the most vibrant flavor, while high-quality mayonnaise and mustard will add richness and tang.
- For a spicier deviled egg, use more pepperoncini peppers or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
- If you don't have pickled pepperoncini peppers on hand, you can make your own by submerging fresh pepperoncini peppers in a vinegar-based brine for several days.
- To make the deviled eggs ahead of time, prepare the filling and stuff the eggs up to 24 hours in advance. Store the deviled eggs in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Garnish the deviled eggs with a sprinkle of paprika, chopped parsley, or a dollop of caviar for an elegant presentation.
