To balance out the 2 sweet items we started with I'm going to keep it fair by writing about 2 of the sour items.
Mixed Vegetable Mustard Pickles. I'd been reading about 'mustard pickles' and was intrigued by the use of flour. They also typically call for a fair amount of sugar. At first I wondered if they were another name for 'bread and butter pickles' but recipes for those had slight omissions. In doing my research I discovered that mustard pickles were actually the first form of chow-chow. I was determined to make something with cauliflower and consequently found that the flour-thickened, sweet-but-still-tangy syrup was delicious right off a spoon.
Dilled Baby Carrots. These puppies are simplicity at it's best. The most difficult part about making these was picking the most perfect heads of dill to pack into the jars.
