re: What are some weird/interesting things you've seen pickled?

any hot pickling recipe you find will work
typically vinegar, sugar, pickling spice, garlic, chiles, and herbs

bring the liquids/spices/aromatics to a boil, let cool slightly, pack the items to be pickled in jars with garlic and peppers, pour into jars and seal the lids. Let pickle for a few days/weeks/whatever

I usually do okra, mirliton, cucumbers, radishes, beets, turnips etc
any veggie will do pretty much
