Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 garlic scapes
- ¾ cup distilled white vinegar
- 1¼ cup water
- 2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 sprigs fresh dill
Instructions
- Remove the tough fibrous part of the garlic scapes, if necessary. The flower bud can be removed or left intact.
- Make slits along the sides of the scapes to allow brine to penetrate the scapes, then wind them inside the mason jar. Add a sprig of fresh dill.
- Add vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour brine into the jar until garlic scapes are submerged, leaving a ½ inch headspace.
- Wipe jar rim with a clean dishcloth or paper towel, add lid, then hand-tighten the collar. Refrigerate for at least one week before tasting!
Notes
- Another option is to slice the scapes slightly shorter than the jar and stand them up.
- If you don't have enough garlic scapes to fill a whole jar, you can add other vegetables (think cucumbers, carrots, green beans, green tomatoes, etc.)
- Store pickled garlic scapes in the fridge for up to six months.
- Processed jars can be stored in a cool pantry for up to one year
- I suggest waiting a week before tasting the pickles. If you can't wait that long, promise me you'll wait at least 3 days! Their flavor will only improve with time.
