Cookpad member “Pinkblanket’s Kitchen” posted a beautiful, sophisticated recipe for pickling daikon and carrots with 10% white vinegar. Thank you, Mrs Pinkblanket. I like to make that with my farm made 5% apple cider vinegar recipe, sugar and spices, and made a jar to see how that works when mixing carrots with daikon. Here is the recipe. It took half a year to see how the flavors and textures develop, but it sure looks pretty already and tastes good after a week.

California Farm Pickled Eggplant California Farm Pickled Eggplant
This is my version of cookpad member Ulrikes’ pickled sour fish rolls made from japanese eggplant instead of fish filets. She calls them rollmops, I love the word. I am using Taiwanese lavender eggplants from the city of Ping Tung, they grow well here.I made two jars, one is following her recipe, the other uses the sweet and sour recipe I have been using for pickled trout and pollock. After a few days of pickling, both japanese and taiwanese eggplant slices are delicious, but softer than fish, so I will make another batch with a thicker egg plant slice. Stays fresh up to 2 weeks in the fridge.Pick young eggplants with soft skin when they are 1/3 the size of fully grown eggplants. We harvest weekly from July to September. -
