  • Spiced and Pickled Seafoods

    Spiced and Pickled Seafoods

    Spiced and Pickled Seafoods Pickling with vinegar and spices is an ancient and easy method of preserving seafood. Commercial processors pickle only a few seafood species, but you can pickle almost any seafood at home. Store pickled seafood in the refrigerator at 32-38°F. Use pickled seafoods within 4-6 weeks for best flavor. Refrigerate seafood during all stages of the pickling process. Ingredients and Equipment Use high-quality seafood. Avoid hard water, especially water high in iron, calcium or magnesium. Hard water can cause off-colors and flavors. Use distilled white vinegar containing at least 4½% acetic acid (45 grains) to inhibit bacterial growth. Pure granulated salt (sack salt) is best for pickling, but you can use table salt. Salt high in calcium and magnesium can cause off-colors and flavors. Suitable containers for pickling seafood include large crocks or heavy glass, enamel or plastic containers. Metal containers may cause discoloration of the pickled seafood. Pack pickled seafood in clean glass jars after the pickling process is complete. Cover the seafood with pickling sauce and close the jar lids tightly. Herring Clean herring thoroughly, cut off head, and trim off belly-flesh to the vent. Wash fish, drain, and pack loosely in a large container. Prepare a brine from 2 cups salt, 2 pints vinegar, and 2 pints water. Cover the fish with brine and store in the refrigerator. Leave the fish in the brine until the salt has "struck through," but before the skin starts to wrinkle or lose color. The length of the cure depends upon your judgment, and varies with the temperature, freshness and size of the fish.

OGLE Specia!Jst in Nutrition The Ohio State University Fruits and vegetables preserved with salt, vinegar, or both, and with or without the addition of sugar and spices, constitute what is commonly called pickles. The discussion in this bulletin will be confined to the principles of pickling as they apply especially to cucumber pickles, in an effort to answer some of the many questions on the process and its difficulties. Cucumbers may be preserved by means of (1) fermentation as the result of the action of the bacteria on the sugar of the veg­ etables; (2) the addition of acid, usually vinegar; or (3) addition of a very strong brine. Any of these methods prevent bacterial growth if all other conditions are right. The secret of making pickles by the fermentation process lies in bringing about acid fermentation quickly, and after this is done, in preserving the acidity of the brine by covering tightly or sealing to exclude air. It is the acid formed by the action of bacteria on the sugar of the vegetables that cures and keeps the vegetables, if all air is excluded and scum yeast has not been allowed to develop.

  • Autumn Piccalilli with Pear

    Autumn Piccalilli with Pear

    Autumn piccalilli with pear Eaten immediately, this pickle will have a punchy tang, perfect with strong cheeses, but by winter the flavours will mellow, ideal for sliced ham. • 2 small cauliflower , cut into small florets • 400g silverskin or pearl onions • 600g courgettes , cut into small chunks (about 2cm pieces) • 6 firm pears , cored, and cut as the courgettes • 100g salt • 1.7l cider vinegar • finger-length piece fresh root ginger , grated • 2 tbsp coriander seeds • 3 tbsp brown or black mustard seeds • 300g golden caster sugar • 8 tbsp cornflour • 5 tbsp English mustard powder • 3 tsp turmeric 1. In a bowl, mix together the vegetables, pears and salt with 2 litres of cold water, then cover and leave overnight. 2. The next day, drain the brine from the vegetables, rinse briefly, then tip into a large saucepan with the vinegar, ginger, coriander seeds, mustard seeds and sugar. Bring to the boil and simmer for 8-10 mins until the veg is just tender but still with a little bite. Drain the vegetables, reserving the liquid, and set aside while you make the sweet mustard sauce. 3. In a large bowl, stir together the cornflour, mustard powder and turmeric, then gradually pour in the hot vinegar while whisking, until you have a lump-free, thin yellow sauce. Return it to the saucepan and bubble over a low heat, stirring constantly, for 4 mins until smooth and thickened. Stir in the veg and spoon into five sterilised 500ml jars while hot, then seal. Once cool, enjoy straight away, or store in a cool, dark cupboard for 2-3 months.
