If you have read my blog for any amount of time, you'll probably know that I love to pickle things. I have pickled everything from Golden Cauliflower, Peppers, Red Onions, Green Tomatoes, Radishes, and even Blueberries. For this event, I decided to try my hand at pickled cranberries.

Pickling takes the naturally sweettart nature of the cranberry and amps it up. You can use these as a condiment for meats such as turkey or ham, however, since this is really just a fruit shrub, try it with a glug of sparkling water for a flavorful homemade soda...or add it to a splash of booze for a seasonal libation.

Ingredients

1 C organic granulated sugar
1 C vinegar
1 whole cinnamon stick
2 star anise
1⁄2 t fennel seeds
1⁄2 t dill seeds
1⁄2 t caraway seeds
1⁄2 tsp. black peppercorns
1 t juniper berries
1⁄2 t salt
1⁄2 lb fresh cranberries, rinsed

Procedure

Bring sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, and spices to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat, swirling until sugar is dissolved, approximately 3 minutes. Add the cranberries to the pot and cook until cranberries pop open, approximately 4 to 6 minutes. Spoon the cranberries and spices into a sterile glass jar. Pour the liquid over the top. If you have a pickle pebble, place it on the top to keep the cranberries submerged.

Let pickles soak, refrigerated, for at least 48 hours before enjoying!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos .
