One of the best ways to bring a ton of flavor to just about any dish is by adding some type of pickled vegetable. From pickled red onions on tacos, pickled chiles on pizza, jazzing up a charcuterie board, or just eating from the jar, the acidic sweet-sourness is addictive. Rob Leonard has been using the water bath method to make dill pickles for over 20 years. In this introductory course, students will learn the basics of pickling. Participants will prepare, pack, and pickle Kirby Cucumbers (Dill Pickles) and Old-Fashioned Dilly Beans (Green Beans). You will take home your own pint of each. Pickled vegetables, charcuterie, and wine will be served in this class!
