Anyone have a recipe for pickled garlic scapes? I checked the internet but didn't really find anything I liked, plus I would rather see if any of you has one.
 
1 quart white wine vinegar (or use distilled, or use a blend of your favorites)

1 cup water

6 Tbls kosher salt

2 tsp mustard seed

1 tsp celery seed

.5 tsp green peppercorns

.5 tsp blsck peppercorns

1 bay leaf

2 bunches garlic scapes

Wash scapes and trim ends.

Sterilize your jar(s).

Boil vinegar, water and salt for five minutes, then keep warm.

Add scapes and spices to the jar(s), then pour hot liquid over to within 1/2 inch of the top. Wipe rim clean and seal with a new lid.

Process in a hot water canner for 10 minutes, or you can cool then refrigerate for a few months. Scapes will be pickled within three weeks.


Alternatively:

Do the above, adding some fresh herbs to the vinegar.
 
Three minutes ago I didn't know what a garlic scape was... heck now I want a pickled one or two...
 
Get to a farmers market. Buy a bunch or two. Pickle some, pesto some. Love me some scapes.
