NEW: How to Pickle ANY Fruit ๐
|
Hi Reader, I have a recipe for pickled vegetables that's been one of the most visited pages on the site for years. In it I also briefly touched on how to pickle fresh fruit. With summer just around the corner, not to mention all of the fresh berries of late spring, I decided something as EASY, practical, and delicious as pickled fruit deserves its own recipe! ๐ โHow to Pickle Any Fruitโ
All you need are a jar or container with a lid, a saucepan, fresh fruit, and 4 ingredients: ...vinegar, water, sweetener, salt, and optional flavorings (spices and herbs) It's as easy as it gets, and these sweet-tart little gems keep in the fridge for weeks. ๐ Imagine salads with pickled strawberries and grapes, or a summer mocktail with pickled peaches and herbs. โ๏ธ In case you're wondering, you can pickle ANYthing! Berries, melons, mango, cherries, apples, kiwi, plums, grapes, pineappleโeven bananas and avocados. ๐ฅ Pickled avocado on tacos = the easiest delight of your life. Add cucumber and jalapeno to make it even better! Ways to Enjoy Pickled Fruit

There are many versions online now, which tends to happen after a recipe goes viral. Usually they're made with plenty of chopped dill pickles and a mayo-based dressing. It's kind of like macaroni salad but doesn't necessarily use elbow macaroni. And other than some white onion,...
Hi Reader, I have a new sweet treat to share with you today, plus a few recipes for Memorial Day Weekend and the unofficial start of summer. โ๏ธ First, Banana Mug Cake! It's fluffy, sweet, delicious, and works with a variety of different flours and sweeteners. Try it with whole wheat pastry flour or oat flour for a healthy-ish breakfast treat. Or use "regular" flour and sugar for a more straight-forward banana cake vibe if that's what you're craving. Basically, it's like banana cake and banana...
Hi Reader, I have a new dinner recipe for you today! The next time you're craving something comforting, nourishing, and really easy to throw together, give this a try: Beans and Greens with Gnocchi! Itโs a one-pan wonder made with pillowy gnocchi and that classic "beans and greens" magic we all love. Dried Italian herbs and Calabrian chili paste bring tons of flavorโand though it doesn't need cheese on top, anytime I have an opportunity to whip up a batch of my pourable vegan mozzarella, you...
