Refrigerator Pickled Jalapenos THM-FP
Cleaning out the remains of my garden this fall, I had a small bucket of Jalapenos to use up. Maybe I was being lazy but I didn’t want to take the time to can them. This recipe saved my day. It can be made in a very short time and best of all, they are so delicious. The Jalapenos are not super hot like you would imagine but have a mild sweet flavor.  I may even have to buy some Jalapenos this winter to replenish our supply!
Refrigerator Pickled JalapenosÂ
- 3/4 cup hot tap water
- 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons mineral salt
- 2 tablespoons THM Gentle Sweet
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3/4 teaspoon oregano
- sliced jalapenos to fill a quart jar
- additional water
Wash and slice Jalapenos, discarding the tops and stems. Pack into a quart jar. Fill the quart jar with water and shake to loosen some seeds. Pour the out the water and discard. Combine 3/4 cup water, vinegar, salt, and Gentle Sweet together. Stir until salt and Gentle Sweet are dissolved. Place garlic cloves and oregano on top of the jalapenos. Pour brine in to fill the jar. Add lid and ring. Store in the fridge for 2-3 weeks before using if you can wait that long.
These are so tasty on wraps, burgers, omelets, and just about anything. They have a sweet mild flavor and we just love them.

Raspberries are a delightful treat in mid-summer.

Savory Tomato Pie THM-S
Warm summer days are not complete without Savory Tomato Pie made from freshly picked tomatoes. This has become a summer favorite and it is especially tasty with Smoked Cheddar or Gouda cheese in the topping.
Pickled Red Beets, THM FP, SF, GF
Pickled Beets have been a favorite in my Mennonite /Pennsylvania Dutch Heritage. My grandmother canned these and I’m sure her grandmother did, too. These beets are eaten cold and often the brine is used to pickle hard-boiled eggs.
