INDIAN FRESH APPLE PICKLE

Steps:

• Wash apples, cut in quarters and core. Slice into thick batons about 1/2-inch thick by 1 1/2 inches long, and place in medium bowl.
• Add salt, cayenne and turmeric and mix well.
• Warm 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a small skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add mustard seeds and cook until they begin to pop, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and stir in asafoetida, then add contents of skillet to bowl. Add remaining sesame oil and lime juice and mix well. Leave 15 minutes for flavor to infuse. Store refrigerated up to 3 days.

PICKLED APPLES

Steps:

• Take ripe, hard, sweet apples.
• Peel evenly, and if the apples are perfect leave them whole, otherwise cut into quarters.
• To a peck of apples take about two quarts of vinegar and four pounds of sugar, half an ounce of mace, half an ounce of cloves and the same amount of allspice, all unground, one teaspoonful of mustard seed, a few pepper grains and a little salt. Heat the vinegar and sugar together until it boils, skim well, put the spices into a thin muslin bag and add to the vinegar, then put in the apples.
• Place over the fire, and stew slowly until the apples are soft. Then take out the apples, let the vinegar boil down and pour over the fruit; cover and put away.

APPLE REFRIGERATOR PICKLES

Steps:

• Place the water, cider vinegar, sugar, allspice, clove, nutmeg, and ginger into a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
• Meanwhile, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, and pack into two sterilized 1 quart canning jars with lids and rings. Pour the boiling syrup over the apples, and affix the lids and rings.
• Allow the jars to stand at room temperature until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Place in the refrigerator, and wait 1 week before opening.

EASY PICKLED APPLES

Steps:

• With a mandoline or vegetable peeler, cut apples into very thin slices. Place apples in a 1-quart jar. In a large saucepan, bring remaining ingredients to a boil. Carefully ladle hot liquid over apples. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

QUICK AND EASY PICKLES

Steps:

• Mix the sea salt, apple cider vinegar, and water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the brine from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Arrange the cucumbers upright in a container large enough to hold the brine. Place the dill sprigs in amongst the cucumbers in the jars. The cucumbers should be fitted tightly and should come within 1/2-inch of the top of the container.
• Fill the container with the brine to the top and tap on a flat surface to remove any possible air bubbles.
• The pickles will last for up to a few weeks.
