Bring a grinder and make relish for your brats over charcoal on the Weber! |

My process: - Bring along a small container of apple cider vinegar, maybe 3-4 oz., in a leakproof container. - Pre-mix a small baggie of pickling spices. Start with a mix of sugar & salt, then add whatever you like - some black pepper, a bay leaf, some chili flakes, etc. - Bring a couple veg to pickle on the trail. I like a small red onion, a carrot or a small cucumber. But get creative! Bring a jalapeno, a couple garlic cloves, .. One morning (I like to do this a few days in, seems more magical that way), slice up the veg, throw in a leakproof container with the vinegar & spices, shake up and throw in the food bag. At dinnertime, voila! Pickles ala BWCA. Here's one great example of how I like to use them: Wilderness pork & rice bowls: - Minute rice - Meat shredz - Wilderness pickle (see above) - Sesame seeds Prep the rice & pork per instructions (basically just jet-boil some water & add) To serve, put some rice in a bowl or mug, scoop of pulled pork over it, add a few pieces of pickled red onion, sprinkle on sesame seeds. Easy, light weight, tasty, and fun! Anyone else pickle stuff on trips? |
