HOMETOWN HONEY PICKLES

Steps:

• Add the cucumbers, onion and banana peppers to a clean glass quart jar.
• Add the vinegars, honey, salt, garlic, mustard seeds, peppercorns, turmeric, chile flakes and bay leaves to a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the honey and the salt.
• Carefully pour the brine over the pickles, stopping 1/2 inch from the top. Let cool completely, then cover with a lid and refrigerate. The pickles will be ready to eat in a few hours but taste best after chilling overnight. Pickles will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

FRIED PICKLES WITH CAJUN AIOLI

• For the fried pickles: Combine the sour cream and pickle juice in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, whisk the flour, cornmeal and cayenne until combined.
• Drain the pickles and add them to the sour cream mixture. Then, using a fork, add the pickles, a few at a time, to the flour mixture and toss to coat.
• Heat 1/2 inch of canola oil to 350 degrees F in a large cast-iron skillet. In several batches, fry the pickles, flipping constantly, until golden brown and crispy all over, 2 1/2 minutes per batch. Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and season with salt.
