When it comes to pickling we usually think of the classic options, such as cucumbers and peppers. But there is a whole world of pickling available, covering foods most people wouldn’t ever consider – did you ever think of pickling watermelon, apples, corn, or even pork? Any of these foods, and many more, can be pickled. The art of pickling has been around for ages, because it not only preserves and extends the shelf life of foods, but also has the ability to take their flavor to a completely new and interesting place. The general rule is that if it’s edible and fits in a jar, it can probably be pickled. www.askaprepper.com/5-unusual-things-to-pickle/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=AAP |

Pickling and Canning Wild Thisle - Part 1
I have heard of pickled watermelon rinds but I think it may be an American thing. Also heard of pickled pigs trotters....?
Not an unusual pickle but an interesting video: Homemade olives (Greek with subtitles)
Preserve Your Extra Eggs by Pickling!
Some good information on this channel including lactoferments, canning (pressure & waterbath), pickling, gardening/homesteading, etc. They also offer a range of free short courses through their website which lead into a full course that you can purchase if interested (no affiliation).

Can you preserve/pickle wild native olives? Lots around our area.

I've tried some that a friend harvested from up in the hills: good flavour but not much flesh around the seeds. Probably in good seasons when the fruit are big its worth doing.

Sweetie routinely pickles eggs as we have a surplus. She uses a white vinegar brine and not much else to make them generic for most any other use. If you want one spicy, splash with hot sauce.
Only problem is I like them right out of the jar..... They do tend to cause consequences.... Pull my finger...

I'm pretty keen to get into pickling. Great way to cover the winter.

I harvest and eat sea plants. Depending on the species delicious raw or dried. Dunno if I'd go for pickled.
I do enjoy home-made pickled cauliflower. And pickled carrot.
