Yield Makes 3 pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds fennel, (about 9 bulbs), trimmed and sliced into very thin rings
1 medium orange
2 cups white vinegar
5 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
6 whole pieces star anise

Steps:

  • Wash three pint jars with lids in hot soapy water, and rinse well. (You can use canning jars and lids, but you don't have to.)
  • Wash fennel, and cut away any bruises or bad spots; trim ends and slice into very thin rings. Cut three 1-inch-long strips of peel from orange. Remove any pith from peel.
  • Bring 1 1/2 cups water, vinegar, salt, and sugar to a boil in a large pot.
  • Meanwhile, fill each jar halfway with fennel. Place 1 orange rind and 2 pieces star anise on top of fennel. Fill jar with remaining fennel, using the back of a clean spoon to pack it down. Leave 3/4 inch of space beneath the rim.
  • Pour hot liquid over fennel, covering it by 1/4 inch and leaving 1/2 inch of beneath the rim of each jar. Place lids on jars, and let stand until cool. Store jars in refrigerator; serve within 3 to 5 days.

I'm not a fan of the anise flavor of fennel, but I still enjoyed this recipe. The pickling process mellowed out the flavor of the fennel and made it much more palatable.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pickled fennel turned out really mushy. I think I might have overcooked it.

The fennel was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I'll try using less vinegar next time.
