WEHO Farmers Market Wisdom To Take Home In A Jar: Art of A Pickle

The surest sign of someone who has something worthwhile to say is when rapt listeners end up buying what she has told and sold them, and so it went, with Chris & Kaja, newbies to the pickling wisdom as explained by Cassandra on behalf of Jonathan, "one of my favorite bosses," she told me, only after I pressed her for details, because his secret pickling formula of spices already was working on me...I was in my own virtual pickle, when jonesing for slaw of beets, that already had sold out, I had to settle for a second best seller: green tomatoes, cabbage, sweet peppers, red onion, water, cider vinegar, garlic, jalapeños, aforementioned "Secret spices," preceded on the label with the word "shreds," as a slaw called "Chow, Chow," tied with aforementioned beet slaw and garlic pickles, I had sampled from the start, as fan favorites of "Completely Pickled."

Truly deserving of being self-described as: "Artisan packed."

As for how many pecks of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

Beets me.

Don't forget to refrigerate.
