Pickled Garlic Scapes or Garlic Whistles image

This year was my first time experiencing garlic scapes. I grilled some, added some to a salad, and made this lovely recipe. These are great with barbecue or any other way you might enjoy a garlic-y pickle. Cook time does not include cooling time.

Time 20m

Yield 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4-1 lb garlic scape
1 cup water
1 cup cider vinegar (5% acidity)
1 cup white vinegar (5% acidity)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons pickling spices
1/4-1/2 teaspoon peppercorn (whole)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds (whole)

Steps:

  • Wash garlic scapes and remove blossoms and any woody ends. Cut each scape into 2-3 sections.
  • Bring 3-4 quarts of water to a boil. Blanch scapes for 2 1/2-3 minutes in boiling water. Drain & dump into ice water to stop cooking. Drain again & add to a clean quart jar.
  • Add water, vinegars, salt, sugar & pickling spice to small saucepan. Bring to a boil.
  • Add peppercorns & mustard seed to jar with scapes.
  • When brine has come to a boil remove from heat and pour over scapes in the jar.
  • Add lid and allow to come to room temperature. Refrigerate for 3 days before eating. Will last about a month refrigerated. Could also be sealed in a water bath for longer term storage (but I've not tried this). [Update: I've had some of these in the fridge for almost exactly a year and they are noticeably softer but otherwise are just fine.].

I really wanted to like this recipe, but I found the pickled garlic scapes to be too sour. I think I'll try using less vinegar next time.
