You know what the best way of figuring out what to do with strange pickled foods is? Have a party and open them during the party!
Last night was February's Soup Night, and we finally opened the pickled pumpkin I canned last fall. Everyone tried it, and I think everyone liked it, though aside from just eating it straight from the jar, I don't think anyone else has any idea what to do with it either. Maybe it's just an appetizer? With vinegar, sugar, and spices, it's an interesting flavor and very chutney-ish.....which would be great if we had a lot of ideas on what to do with chutney. As it is, look for both of them to surface as appetizers at future Soup Nights, and if that doesn't work, maybe I'll host a cooking contest this summer. We'll call it "What Hath Toni's Canning Wrought?" and the winner will be awarded a jar of green tomato jam. Or should that be the loseer......?
