  • Pickles and Relishes
    UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION SERVICE CIRCULAR 423 Columbia, Missouri AUGUST, 1940 Pickles and Relishes FLORA L. CARL* Pickles and relishes have little food value, but they point up a dinner, add a party air to a buffet luncheon or a picnic supper, and if served only occasionally are a special treat for a family meal. Their clear color, crisp texture and tart flavor stimulate the appetite. They should not be used to replace fresh or cooked vegetables or fruits. Because of their high flavor, they should not be included in the diets of children or given frequently to people who are not vigorous or have digestive difficulties. Good pickles have a spicy tart flavor throughout the vegetable or fruit, they have a clear bright color and most vegetable pickles should be crisp. For home use all pickles and relishes might be grouped under four types, namely : 1. Brined or Cured Pickles.-Vegetables are held in a 10% salt solution or brine until they are properlyversion cured which takes from 2 weeks to 2 months. The best sweet, sour, dill, mustard, or mixed vegetable pickles, are made from these brined or cured pickles. Sauerkraut and other vegetables which are cured in a brine made from their juice and salt are included in this group. 2. Fruit Pickles.-These are the easiest type to make and prob­ ably the most desirable type for family meals. Canned, dried or fresh fruit is heated in a spicy sweet-sour sirup and allowed to stand some time to develop flavor before serving.
