Pickled Japs

Frank from Houma · May 2010

Thanks to Miss Ginny, Vidalia1's lovely bride, for the motivation.

Pickled Japs - used the recipe in this link http://www.mrswages.com/Page/Old_South_Cucumber_Lime_Pickles.aspx?nt=437

Couple mods this time.

The first time I let the japs in the water and lime overnight. They came out real crunchy (like pickles - duh) and a real bright green. Also remove all the seeds and veins - no heat. Let em in this time.

This time I soaked them in the water and lime for just 30 minutes. Also added some red bell pepper, carrots, and onion. I tied a string around some carrots and asparagus to pickle them as well.

8 pounds japs

Carrots

Asparagus - next time I'll just soak in the pickling juice and won't boil the asparagus or carrots

Have plenty pickling liquid and about enough japs for another half jar. Going to try making some spicy beans tomorrow - of course they are for medicinal purposes. I lied they are for bloody marys.

Those look great!

were those then "canned and sealed" or just put in those jars for storage? If not "canned" with heat et.al. does the pickling prevent spoilage?

Beautiful Frank, looking forward to the spicy beans...

Canned and sealed - boiled for 15 minutes.

and here I thought you pickled people of Japanese decent!!!! :ohmy:

Everything looks good, but how did we get Japs from Jalapenos?

Lookin' good. Mrs Wages and I go way back. I have no problem with the water bath method, but I also use her refrigerator mixes. The upside to them is they can be made in no time and they are very crispy. The downside is that they must live in the fridge and have a life of about 4 months.

I like the kosher dill for onions, cucumbers, aspargus, bell peppers and green beans.

The bread and butter are great for jalapenos, or onions and jalapenos.... the sweet/hot is a neat taste.

It's not pronounced "Selltick Wolf" - it's pronounced "Kelltick Wolf" :laugh:

It's not pronounced "Japs", it's pronounced "haps"

That has nothing to do with how did you get Japs from Jalapenos? :blink:

Don't really know :unsure: - have seen it used like that b4
