From cucumbers and zucchinis to two pickles and three relishes: bread and butter pickles, garlic dill pickles, Indian-style relish, Spicy Garlic Dill Relish, and in front, Zucchini BBQ Relish, all for July's Tigress Can Jam!
Wow. When Gloria over at Laundry, ETC. named this month’s can jam project to be cucurbits, to be honest, I wasn’t excited. WTF are cucurbits, you might ask? According to Gloria, “it refers to Cucurbitaceae, a plant family commonly known as melons and gourds, including crops like cucumbers, squashes (including pumpkins), loofahs, melons and watermelons…” To me, there is nothing special about cucumbers and zucchini. At all. I was the opposite of excited.
And then a bitch canned five different products. FIVE! And then a bitch remembered, oh yeah! I’m a pickle whore! and a bitch was able to stock her larder for the entire winter with pickles and relishes and experiment with a few new recipes. The bitch felt a bit like, well, a bitch.
Cucurbits, you have humbled me. I am not worthy.
Five recipes and food porn after the jump.
