In a unification of the gardening and cooking threads, I picked the first little harvest of cucamelons, and quick pickled them. Meaning, i just put them in a brine in the fridge, and they should be ready tomorrow, and will only last a few weeks, so not real pickling.
You can see the blossom end on the cucamelons in the jar initially, but i did cut them off before pickling. I had just picked them directly into the jar outside.
I’m still not totally sure how necessary that actually is. It seems like one of those wives takes. I’m thinking if i just scraped off the blossom, it would be good enough.
