This first post was going to be highly sentimental....my mom making her mothers favorite zucchini recipe. I spent the morning expectantly searching each stand at the farmers market for just the picture perfect-looking zucchini and onion. Came home, photographed the ingredients, even texted my sister on this auspicious occasion. Called Mom, ....and left a message. She wasn't home!
OK-Plan B. We grew some banana peppers in our own garden this year. Lee thought they were easy to grow, and that we could 'pickle' them. (Neither one of us has ever pickled anything in our lives) While at the market, I got some to supplement the ones at home, ready to pick (exactly 4). This afternoon I confidently, ignorantly, boiled the jars and sliced up the peppers. Winging it, I added boiled vinegar and water, a pinch of salt, a few peppercorns, a dash of sugar, mustard seed and some celery salt to each jar. They look pretty good. You can print out the recipe by clicking here: Pickled Peppers di Pietro
We'll take another stab at the pickled peppers next week: my Aunt Elia has promised to find Aunt Thelmas recipe....maybe Mom will make the zucchinis tomorrow.
