Pickled recipes
When you’ve had your fill of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers and stone fruits, take the flavours of late summer well into the cooler months by pickling and preserving the fruits (and veggies) of your labour. What to serve them with? Well if you’re not tempted to just nibble away, they can go great with pâtés, toasties and quick picky lunches.
