A Recipe for
Chinese Brine Pickles
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, peppercorns, chile peppers and
boiling water, and stir until the salt dissolves. Stir in the cold
water, fresh ginger, and vodka or sherry. Put the vegetables of your
choice into a Chinese pickling jar or 2-quart glass jar. If using a
Chinese pickling jar, seal with water according to the instructions.
If using a regular glass jar, simply cover with plastic wrap. Do not
wrap tightly as gas must escape. Allow the pickles to sit,
unrefrigerated, for 24 hours and serve. The pickles will keep for
several days if sealed and in the refrigerator. From The Frugal
Gourmet Cooks Three Ancient Cuisines, Jeff Smith, Avon, c 1989.
