Best 8 Scott Peacocks Quick Pickled Crudites Recipes

SCOTT PEACOCK'S QUICK-PICKLED CRUDITES

Steps:

• In a nonreactive bowl, stir together vinegar, 1/2 cup hot water, sugar, and 2 teaspoons salt until salt and sugar have dissolved. Pack vegetables into a nonreactive container, such as a canning jar.
• Pour vinegar mixture over vegetables. Let cool completely, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 week. Drain and serve.

QUICK PICKLES

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, seeds and dill with 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Toss together the cucumber, jalapeño if using and onion, then transfer to a wide-mouth quart size Mason jar. Carefully pour over the warm vinegar mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours or up to 7 days.

CARROT AND CUCUMBER REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

Steps:

• In a large glass jar or bowl, arrange alternating layers of cucumbers and carrots. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, the water, salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, and peppercorns. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat; cook, stirring constantly, just until sugar dissolves.
• Remove from heat; pour mixture over vegetables, and let cool completely. Cover tightly, and refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving.

BRANDIED FIGS

Steps:

• Wash figs a few at a time by quickly dipping them in a bowl of cool water. (Do not soak.) Place in a single layer on a kitchen towel; drain. Sprinkle 3/4 cup sugar evenly in a wide nonreactive pot. Top with figs, then sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup sugar. Cover; refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
• Place pot over low heat, uncovered, and bring figs to a bare simmer. (Tilt pan from side to side or swirl a bit to help sugar dissolve, but do not stir, or fruit may get damaged.) Partially cover and simmer 10 minutes; remove from heat. Cover; let stand 4 hours.
• Repeat step 2 twice; figs should turn translucent in final simmering stage. (If necessary, allow to simmer longer than 10 minutes in final simmer, until they do.)
• Carefully spoon hot figs into hot sterilized canning jars (ideally pint-size or smaller). Bring syrup to a boil, skimming any scum that rises to surface. Turn off heat; stir in brandy. Taste; add more brandy as desired. Pour hot syrup over fruit to cover. Seal and process in a hot-water bath 10 minutes. Figs can be stored in a cool, dark place up to 1 year.

PICKLED GREEN GARLIC

Steps:

• Place sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, juniper berries, mustard seeds, cardamom, ginger, fennel seed, coriander, and red pepper flakes in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook until sugar has dissolved.
• Place green garlic in a bowl; pour liquid over garlic and cover. Let stand until cooled.

QUICK PICKLES

Steps:

• Place cucumbers and tarragon in a jar.
• Heat vinegar, sugar, red-pepper flakes, and salt in a saucepan, stirring, until sugar and salt have dissolved. Pour into jar. Let cool completely, uncovered. Pickles are best refrigerated overnight (or up to 6 weeks) before serving.

QUICK PICKLED CARROTS
