Dilly Tomatoes
Makes 1 pint
LEVEL OF EASE: Easy
PRESERVING METHOD: Waterbath

Ingredients:
1½ Cups small grape or cherry tomatoes
1 Shallot
1 Bay leaf
4 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
½ Tbsp Yellow Mustard seeds
1 Tbsp Kosher Salt
½ tsp Citric acid
Pinch of Red Chile Flakes
1 Tbsp light brown sugar
½ cup Cider Vinegar
½ cup cold water 
1 pint jar with lid and band

DIRECTIONS:
PREPARE boiling water canner. Heat jars in simmering water until ready to use. Do NOT BOIL. Wash lids in warm soapy water and set bands aside.

USING a sharp paring knife, score the tomatoes on the bottom of each one with a shallow X. Place the tomatoes in a bowl and add the shallot, the bay leaf, chopped dill, and mustard seeds. Toss well and set aside.

COMBINE the salt, the citric acid, chile flakes, brown sugar, cider vinegar, and water in a small pot and bring to a vigorous boil and then remove from heat. Pack tomatoes into a pre-warmed clean pint jar. The tomatoes should be packed pretty firmly, but make sure to leave ½ inch of head-space.

POUR the hot brine over the tomatoes leaving a ½ inch head-space. Remove air and add more brine if needed to the ½ inch head-space and wipe rim of jar. Center lid on jar and apply ring to fingertip tight.

PROCESS jars in Boiling Waterbath for 10 minutes, adjusting for your altitude. Remove Canner lid and wait 5 mins then remove jars and cool. Check lids AFTER 24 hours. Lids should not flex when center is pressed.

Fiddlehead Recipes

The School of Food & Agriculture at the University of Maine and Cooperative Extension staff have tested these fiddlehead recipes below. The most successful of these recipes in terms of flavor, keeping quality, and safety are included in this fact sheet.

Plain Pickled Fiddleheads

Cider or white vinegar (5% acidity)
Sugar
1/8 tsp each of black pepper, ground nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and celery seed

Remove air bubbles, adjust the liquid to 1/2-inch headspace and wipe the jar rim. Apply two-piece dome lids and adjust lids to fingertip tight. Process for 15 minutes in a boiling water bath canner, ensuring a rolling boil for the full 15 minutes and at least 1-inch of water is covering all jars in the water bath.

Pickled Corn

Fermented/Pickles/Marinated
This quick pickle is really, really good. It’s quite easy to prepare, shucking the corn is the most arduous aspect of this recipe. You can make this with blanched corn or raw corn. If going the raw route, you will have to let it pickle for longer, a few weeks minimum. I made a batch of this, with raw corn, in September last year and let it pickle in the fridge until Thanksgiving, where it received raves from all present, even the children! You can make this as spicy as you like, you could also forgo the heat and add in some herbs, other spices (coriander is good), and/or seasonings. Or just corn, the brine, and garlic.

5 – 6 ears Corn, shucked
6 Tbsp Kosher salt, plus extra for blanching water, if you like
2 quarts water, for the brine, not for blanching
12 garlic cloves, or to taste
1 – 2 fresh chiles or 3/4 – 1 t crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp whole black peppercorns, or a mix of peppercorns

1. If blanching corn, bring a large pot of (salted) water to the boil. Have ready a large bowl of ice water.

2. Cut corn into rounds, maybe 3″ each, or if the cobs aren’t large and you have a large enough container, leave them whole. If blanching, put in water for anywhere from 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces. You may have to do this in batches, in which case you’ll have to refresh the ice water bath. Count the blanching time from when the water returns to the boil. When the blanching time is reached, remove pieces to the ice water bath. Cool for as long as you blanched. Drain.

3. Meanwhile, combine salt and the 2 quarts water in a a bowl or jar and stir to dissolve. Peel garlic. Leave whole or halve, if you like. Seed chiles and slice or chop. Or slice into rounds and seed the rounds. Be careful not to touch your eyes when working with fresh peppers!

4. Put half the corn in a 3 quart or gallon jar or crock. Top with half the garlic, half the chiles and all the pepper. Or put all the flavorings in at once. Put in the rest of the corn, and the rest of the garlic and chiles. The corn should be a good 2 to 3 of inches below the rim. Pour over the brine. Make sure the corn is submerged. You can crumple up some freezer or wax paper and stuff it into the headspace to keep the corn submerged, but I’ve never had to do that with corn.
5. Let stand in a cool, dark place for four days. Taste. If you like, eat. If you want a more spicy, briny pickle, let it sit another couple of days. Then refrigerate. The corn will continue to pickle in the fridge. For raw corn pickle, you can keep it out of the fridge for 4 or 5 days, but refrigerate after that.

Preserving Method: Water Bath Canning
Makes about 6 pint jars
A classic watermelon rind pickle taken to new heights with jalapeรฑo slices and cucumbers. Recipe excerpted from The All New Ball Book of Canning and Preserving, published by Oxmoor House (2016).


YOU WILL NEED

6 Tbsp. Ball® Salt for Pickling & Preserving, divided
9 cups water, divided
1 (8-lb.) watermelon*
2 lb. medium pickling cucumbers, such as Kirby
1⁄2 lb. jalapeรฑo peppers
Ice cubes
2 Tbsp. pickling spice
Cheesecloth Kitchen String
4 cups sugar
3 cups white vinegar (5% acidity)
1 1⁄2 tsp. mustard seeds
18 whole cloves
6 Ball® Pint (16 oz) glass preserving jars with lids and bands
Ball® Pickle Crisp (optional)
Optional: Ball® freshTECH Electric Water Bath Canner + Multicooker


DIRECTIONS
1. Dissolve 1⁄4 cup pickling salt in 1 qt. water in a large bowl. Trim green peel and pink flesh from thick watermelon rind. Cut rind into 1-inch pieces to measure 8 cups. Add rind to salt water, adding additional water, if necessary, to cover rind. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 6 hours.

2. After 3 hours, dissolve remaining 2 Tbsp. salt in 1 qt. water in another large bowl.

3. Scrub cucumbers under cold running water. Cut cucumbers into 1⁄4-inch-thick slices to measure 6 cups. Remove stems from jalapeรฑos; cut into 1⁄2-inch -thick slices to measure 2 cups. Place cucumber and jalapeรฑo slices in salt water in second bowl. Cover with a thick layer of ice cubes. Cover and let stand 3 hours.

4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drain rind, discarding brine; rinse. Drain. Rinse bowl. Add drained rind to boiling water. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain; return rind to rinsed bowl.

5. Drain cucumber mixture, discarding brine and any unmelted ice cubes. Rinse cucumber mixture; drain.

6. Place pickling spice on a 4-inch square of cheesecloth; tie with kitchen string. Bring sugar, vinegar, spice bag, and remaining 1 cup water to a boil in a 6-qt. stainless steel or enameled Dutch oven; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Add rind and cucumber mixture. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove and discard spice bag.

7. Place 1⁄4 tsp. mustard seeds and 3 whole cloves in a hot jar. Using a slotted spoon, firmly pack rind mixture in jar, leaving 1⁄2-inch headspace. Ladle hot pickling liquid over rind mixture, leaving 1⁄2-inch headspace. Add 1⁄8 tsp. Ball® Pickle Crisp to jar, if desired. Remove air bubbles. Wipe jar rim. Center lid on jar. Apply band, and adjust to fingertip-tight. Place jar in boiling-water canner. Repeat until all jars are filled.
8. Process jars 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Turn off heat; remove lid, and let jars stand 5 minutes. Remove jars and cool.

*Choose a watermelon with pickling in mind, making sure the rind is firm and bright colored, free of bruises.
