Do you know what can be wonderfully tasty? Pickles! Not just any pickles, but ones that you make yourself from in-season local veggies.
After hitting up our local farmer’s market, we came home with gorgeous cauliflower and carrots with the intent to turn them into pickles.
Beautiful multi-colored carrots. They tasted like candy.
First carrots I ever purchased with the tops still attached!
Delicious white, purple, and green cauliflower.
While you can make refrigerator pickles from scratch, I chose to use mixes that I picked up during a trip to Cook Forest, Pennsylvania previously.
Ready to go pickle mixes
We also have a collection of flip top glass jars that are perfect for refrigerator pickles. I filled them up with a combination of carrots and cauliflower and then modified the recipe to make a partial batch. The mix called for a gallon of vegetables, which is way more than I had.
Veggies chopped and ready to pickle.
The dill pickle mix has a few more days to marinate, but the bread and butter type mix has already been taste tested and given a seal of approval. I’m sure they won’t last long.
Ready to marinate!

I LOVE picked vegetables, and they look great in those flip top jars. Have you done a carrot, cauliflower, onion mix? It’s one of my favorites.

I have used onions before, but didn’t get a chance to pick any up this time. I agree, I love onions too!
