Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Canning is often thought of as a summertime activity, what with the bounty of fruits and tomatoes sure to head our way in a few short months. Yet the humbler spring produce now showing its face at farmers’ markets is still a fine—nay, great—object for preservation. I wouldn’t suggest trying to sort out asparagus jam, but these green stalks, as well as their seasonal friends, make glorious pickles. I like to stuff as many different spring goodies as I can get my hands on into a few good canning jars in order to save them for less exciting times (like, say, January). I’d suggest you do the same. Here’s how:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before getting to work on the vegetables, it’s a good idea to prepare your jars for canning. I like to make pickles in pint jars because they’re big enough to hold sizable pickles, but they’re not so large that the pickles will go bad before you eat up the entire contents of the jar. (If you choose to use a larger jar, you will need to process the pickles an additional 5 minutes in the boiling water bath.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_82098\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/boiling-jars.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/boiling-jars.jpg\" alt=\"Bring jars to a rapid boil for at least 10 minutes in order to sterilize before adding the pickles.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Glass canning jars need to be boiled for at least 10 minutes in order to be considered sterile. For some canning projects, the items being processed in the boiling water bath will be in the water for 10 minutes or more; in those cases, the jars wouldn’t need to be sterilized. These pickles, however, only need 5 minutes in the boiling water bath in order to be shelf-stable, so it will be necessary to sterilize the jars before canning. To do so, place 4 pint jars on the rack of a canning pot or large stockpot and cover completely with water. Bring this water up to a full, rolling boil. Once it hits a boil, start your 10 minute timer. After the allotted time, turn the heat down to low, cover the pot, and let the jars sit in the hot water until you’re ready for them. They will remain sterile as long as they stay hot and submerged. To soften and sterilize the lids and bands, place four new lids and the accompanying bands in a medium-sized bowl. Ladle over some of the boiling water to cover. Let them sit until the vegetables and brine are ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_82104\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/ingredients-1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/ingredients-1.jpg\" alt=\"You can pickle whichever spring vegetables look best at the market.

You’ll need around 2 pounds of ready-to-eat vegetables for four pints of pickles. This means you’ll likely need to buy 2 1/2 to 3 pounds of whatever looks wonderful and fresh. Here, I’m using spring onions, carrots, fennel, asparagus, fava beans, and sugar snap peas. Depending on the vegetable, you’ll need to give it more or less attention. You can cut vegetables into any shape you’d like, but make sure to cut the vegetables into comparable sizes to ensure that they’ll pickle at the same rate. Also be sure to slice long vegetables, like carrots and asparagus, into thin spears so that they will fit upright in the jars.

When I’m making pickles or other preserved foods, I like to think about the flavor accents that I would use if I were to say, sauté, these vegetables instead of pickling them.

Why? Fresh herbs have a tendency to turn slimy and dark if they sit in vinegar for too long. Steeping allows me to add flavor without compromising the aesthetic of the pickle. Second, I add the spices and garlic directly to the sterilized jars before pouring in the brine. I’ve found that when spices are added to a brine and then poured over pickles, the spices have a tendency to clump together and not distribute evenly in the jars. We’ll return to these spices in a moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_82111\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/tarragon-1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/tarragon-1.jpg\" alt=\"Bundle 2 cups of tarragon leaves and stems in cheesecloth to make it easy to remove from the brine.

Place the tarragon leaves and stems in the center of a large piece of cheesecloth. Bring the corners of the cheesecloth together and tie the cheesecloth into a bundle around the tarragon using kitchen twine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_82099\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/brine.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/brine.jpg\" alt=\"Bring the brine to a boil, cover, and let the mixture steep off the heat to infuse with tarragon flavor.

Try and place an equal amount of each vegetable in each jar, packing them in as tightly as possible. All of the vegetables will shrink when the jars are boiled, so be sure to cram in as many pieces as you can. Finally, top the vegetables with the hot brine. Be sure to leave 1/2 inch of headspace between the top of the brine (and vegetables) and the top of the jar. This headspace will allow for the expansion of the liquid and prevent the jars from breaking when they are boiled.

(This is called “finger-tip tight.”) You will want air to be able to escape the jars as they boil to create a vacuum inside of the jars. If the lids are screwed on too tightly, the jars may break. Now transfer the jars back to the pot and bring the water back up to a rolling boil. Do not start timing until the water is fully boiling. Sometimes, air bubbles escaping from the jars will make the water appear as though it is boiling; wait until you can see the bubbling from the bottom of the pot. Let the jars boil for a full 5 minutes, and then remove them from the pot, placing them back on the towel-lined counter. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lids should start to ping and seal within a few minutes.

Yet the humbler spring produce now showing its face at farmers’ markets is still a fine—nay, great—object for preservation. I wouldn’t suggest trying to sort out asparagus jam, but these green stalks, as well as their seasonal friends, make glorious pickles. I like to stuff as many different spring goodies as I can get my hands on into a few good canning jars in order to save them for less exciting times (like, say, January). I’d suggest you do the same. Here’s how:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before getting to work on the vegetables, it’s a good idea to prepare your jars for canning. I like to make pickles in pint jars because they’re big enough to hold sizable pickles, but they’re not so large that the pickles will go bad before you eat up the entire contents of the jar. (If you choose to use a larger jar, you will need to process the pickles an additional 5 minutes in the boiling water bath.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_82098\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/boiling-jars.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/boiling-jars.jpg\" alt=\"Bring jars to a rapid boil for at least 10 minutes in order to sterilize before adding the pickles.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Glass canning jars need to be boiled for at least 10 minutes in order to be considered sterile. For some canning projects, the items being processed in the boiling water bath will be in the water for 10 minutes or more; in those cases, the jars wouldn’t need to be sterilized. These pickles, however, only need 5 minutes in the boiling water bath in order to be shelf-stable, so it will be necessary to sterilize the jars before canning. To do so, place 4 pint jars on the rack of a canning pot or large stockpot and cover completely with water. Bring this water up to a full, rolling boil. Once it hits a boil, start your 10 minute timer. After the allotted time, turn the heat down to low, cover the pot, and let the jars sit in the hot water until you’re ready for them. They will remain sterile as long as they stay hot and submerged. To soften and sterilize the lids and bands, place four new lids and the accompanying bands in a medium-sized bowl. Ladle over some of the boiling water to cover. Let them sit until the vegetables and brine are ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_82104\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/ingredients-1.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/ingredients-1.jpg\" alt=\"You can pickle whichever spring vegetables look best at the market.

Here, I’m using spring onions, carrots, fennel, asparagus, fava beans, and sugar snap peas. Depending on the vegetable, you’ll need to give it more or less attention. You can cut vegetables into any shape you’d like, but make sure to cut the vegetables into comparable sizes to ensure that they’ll pickle at the same rate. Also be sure to slice long vegetables, like carrots and asparagus, into thin spears so that they will fit upright in the jars.

Second, I add the spices and garlic directly to the sterilized jars before pouring in the brine. I’ve found that when spices are added to a brine and then poured over pickles, the spices have a tendency to clump together and not distribute evenly in the jars.

Try and place an equal amount of each vegetable in each jar, packing them in as tightly as possible. All of the vegetables will shrink when the jars are boiled, so be sure to cram in as many pieces as you can. Finally, top the vegetables with the hot brine. Be sure to leave 1/2 inch of headspace between the top of the brine (and vegetables) and the top of the jar. This headspace will allow for the expansion of the liquid and prevent the jars from breaking when they are boiled.

Now transfer the jars back to the pot and bring the water back up to a rolling boil. Do not start timing until the water is fully boiling. Sometimes, air bubbles escaping from the jars will make the water appear as though it is boiling; wait until you can see the bubbling from the bottom of the pot. Let the jars boil for a full 5 minutes, and then remove them from the pot, placing them back on the towel-lined counter. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lids should start to ping and seal within a few minutes.

On the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fermentersclub.com/green-strawberries/\">Fermenters Club\u003c/a> blog, they're fermenting their berries, letting the berries soften in a week-long brine with just a hint of vinegar, with bay leaves, allspice berries, and orange peel for flavoring. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what do they taste like? Acidic, of course, since even when perfectly unripe, they're still purposefully a week or two away from full-flavored, ruby-red sweetness. Think more kiwi than strawberry, with a texture like underripe honeydew melon and cucumber. So where can you find them? In your backyard, of course, if you've got a strawberry patch going, or at any u-pick farm. But if you're saving all your berries for shortcake, you can pick up pints of green berries from \u003ca href=\"http://www.homecook.me/Yerenafarms\">Yerena Farms\u003c/a>. Owner Poli Yerena grows his organic berries down near Watsonville, and has recently started selling green berries by the box or flat to interested chefs and home cooks alike, alongside the farm's deliciously sweet and fragrant ripe berries. Yerena sells at many farmers' markets around the Bay Area; check their website to find the market nearest you. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yerena's wife Sylvia, who sells the berries, suggests bringing out the cucumber-like quality of the green berries in a fresh salsa, using a mixture of sliced green berries and ripe mango, with red onion, cilantro, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper--delicious over grilled fish or as a base for ceviche. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch1>Quick Pickled Green Strawberries\u003c/h1>\n\u003cp>Play around with the flavorings as you wish. Lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves? Star anise and fresh ginger root? Just make sure to let the brine cool before you add it to the berries, as you want them to stay firm rather than mushy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_62663\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/pickles1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/pickles1000.jpg\" alt=\"Pickled Green Strawberries\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-62663\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pickled Green Strawberries\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>1 pint green strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup water\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, champagne vinegar, or unseasoned rice vinegar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 TB granulated sugar\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 1/2 tsp salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 fresh tarragon sprig, 1 leafy fennel frond, or 1 fresh bay leaf\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 long spiral of fresh lime, lemon, or orange peel\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Preparation\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Combine water, vinegar, sugar, salt, tarragon, spices, and rind in a small saucepan.

The author, whose new book \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Food-Jars-Preserving-Batches-Year-Round/dp/0762441437\">Food in Jars: Preserving in Small Batches Year-Round\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, is likely to be well received here, given this region's current preoccupation with preserving -- though, okay, maybe it doesn't quite rival the D.I.Y. zeal of \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYey8ntlK_E\">picklers in Portland\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll let McClellan be the judge of that, given her West Coast pedigree. A former Californian (she was born in Hollywood), who lived in L.A. until she was nine, McClellan moved with her family to Portland and went to college in Washington state. Post college, she relocated to Pennsylvania to take care of her ailing grandmother and wound up staying put -- and rediscovering the old-fashioned practice of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_canning\">putting up\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up on the West Coast, McClellan had apple and plum trees and blackberry bushes in easy reach. She went blueberry picking and came home to preserve with a mom who was touched by the back-to-the-land hippie vibe of that time and place. Every summer, McClellan remembers making a dozen jars of jam and filling the freezer with bags of apple sauce. It was just something she grew up knowing how to do, it wasn't like her family was canning crazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that can-do spirit never left McClellan, who writes a weekly pickling post for \u003ca href=\"http://www.seriouseats.com/in_a_pickle/\">Serious Eats\u003c/a>. The old-fashion practice became a modern passion and ended up finding a home in her new book, a collection of recipes for jams, jellies, marmalades, pickles, relishes, and chutneys -- with some syrups, sauces, and salsas thrown in for good measure, along with a boozy infusion or two. (See below for select recipes.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BAB caught up with McClellan at the recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.blogher.com/blogher-food-12\">BlogHer Food conference in Seattle\u003c/a>. As a former Portlandian, it must be noted that this canner was dispensing cookbook postcards via a thoroughly \u003cem>au courant\u003c/em> little purse with, yes, dear readers, birds on it. Proving, perhaps, that you can take the pickler out of Portland, but you can't take \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XM3vWJmpfo\">Portlandia\u003c/a> out of this preserver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Food-Jars-Preserving-Batches-Year-Round/dp/0762441437\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/foodinjars.cover4001.jpg\" alt=\"Food in Jars - Preserving in Small Batches Year-Round\" title=\"Food in Jars - Preserving in Small Batches Year-Round\" width=\"400\" height=\"524\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44701\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How is your book different from all the other canning, jamming, and pickling cookbooks already out there?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's a modern take on small batch canning -- between three and four pints. Most classic canning recipes are designed to fill a canning pot, we're talking seven to nine pints. Living in a small apartment I found that was always far too much: My apartment is a little less than 1,100 square feet and my kitchen is about 80 square feet, so storage and counter space are at a premium. For me, small batches are a way to be creative and explore different flavor combinations without canning taking up my whole life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would you characterize the canning community here?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The West Coast canning scene is about three or four years ahead of the East Coast -- that's just how things tend to happen in food trends -- the East Coast is a little slower to pick up on things. The West Coast has ridiculously beautiful produce. California, Oregon, and Washington are all blessed, and people should remember not to take it for granted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you miss about West Coast eating and drinking?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennsylvania has a lot of obnoxious liquor laws. I miss being able to buy a bottle of wine in the grocery store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I miss the general aesthetic and attitude of the West Coast around food -- especially California -- everybody is really engaged in food here, whether it's preserving or wanting to make things from scratch. On the East Coast I often feel like I'm shouting to an empty room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's wonderful on the food front where you live?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We get really great sour cherries. And sour cherry jam is one of my favorite jams to make. So I feel really lucky to live in a place that has such an abundant sour cherry season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're also fortunate to have the classic Brandywine tomato, which is originally from Pennsylvania. It was developed for that soil and it grows beautifully in that area. It's particularly good for sauces and salsas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/6-jars400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/6-jars400.jpg\" alt=\"6 jars\" title=\"6 jars\" width=\"400\" height=\"435\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44680\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Savory and sweet preserved produce.

There's the locavore movement: If you want to eat locally and have variety through the winter and live in a colder place, as I do, then you've got to can. There's the fact that people want some control over their food -- they want to avoid chemicals or \u003ca href=\"http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/22/bpa-lurks-in-canned-soups-and-drinks/\">BPA\u003c/a> -- and the best way to know what's in your food is by canning it yourself. There are also economic factors: People need to save money and canning can be one way to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there's also the fact that many people are really disconnected from their food and they want to be more in touch with it and canning is a way to do that too. All those factors are coming together and making it just a perfect storm for food preservation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/assorted-pickles400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/assorted-pickles400.jpg\" alt=\"Assorted pickles\" title=\"Assorted pickles\" width=\"400\" height=\"491\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44682\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Pickle pleasure.

It's just chopping cucumbers, adding some garlic and other spices, pouring some hot vinegar over it, and letting it sit in the refrigerator for a day or two. That makes the best, crunchiest, most flavorful pickle you've ever had. They'll stay crisp and good in the refrigerator for three or four weeks as opposed to six to twelve months on the shelf but the texture is better if you just do it as a refrigerator pickle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/blueberry-butter400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/blueberry-butter400.jpg\" alt=\"Blueberry butter\" title=\"Blueberry butter\" width=\"400\" height=\"531\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44683\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Blueberry butter.

Strawberries -- which new jammers often try first -- are one of the hardest to get a good set out of, so they end up with a failure, a strawberry syrup, and they're disappointed and may not make jam again because it didn't turn out.

When it came to homemade jams, we were more of a plum and blueberry crowd. So I never gave it much thought until the day someone introduced me to the company “We Love Jam” and their Blenheim apricot jam, and it blew my preserve-lovin’ mind. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I can’t get those precious Blenheims where I live, I’ve found that just about any locally grown, tree-ripened apricot makes stellar jam and I can’t really see going a year without its sweet-tart goodness for spreading on buttered toast. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes:\u003c/strong> 3 (1 pint/500 ml) jars\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n6 cups peeled, pitted, and diced apricots (about 3 pounds/1.4 kg whole apricots)\u003cbr>\n31/2 cups/700 g granulated sugar\u003cbr>\nZest and juice of 1 lemon\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nPrepare a boiling water bath and 3 regular-mouth 1-pint/500 ml jars according to the process on page 11. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Place the lids in a small saucepan, cover them with water, and simmer over very low heat.\u003cbr>\nCombine the apricots and sugar in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the fruit is tender and the liquid looks syrupy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Add the lemon juice and zest and return to a boil. Insert your candy thermometer into the jam and attach it to the side of the pot. Let the jam boil vigorously until it reaches 220°F/105°C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the jam has reached 220°F/105°C and the temperature has remained steady for 2 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and ladle the jam into the prepared jars.

It was there that I had the chance to try the most delectable fried okra I’d ever encountered. It transformed my opinion of this sometimes texturally challenging vegetable and sent me running to the kitchen to try it as a pickle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was transcendently good. Pickling manages to eradicate the interior slime and just leaves you with a crunchy, brine-filled pickle. It’s a dream eaten alongside a plate of spicy food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes:\u003c/strong> 4 (1-pint/500 ml) jars\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3 cups/720 ml apple cider vinegar\u003cbr>\n3 tablespoons pickling salt\u003cbr>\n4 lemon slices\u003cbr>\n4 tablespoons Mixed Pickling Spice (see recipe below), divided\u003cbr>\n2 pounds/910 g okra, washed and trimmed\u003cbr>\n4 garlic cloves, peeled\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nPrepare a boiling water bath and 4 regular-mouth 1-pint/500 ml jars according to the process on page 11. Place the lids in a small saucepan, cover them with water, and simmer over very low heat. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Combine the vinegar, 3 cups/720 ml water, and pickling salt in a pot and bring the brine to a boil. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, put a lemon slice and 1 tablespoon pickling spice in the bottom of each sterilized jar. Then pack the okra in, first laying them in so that the points are up. Then insert another layer with the points down, so that they interlock. Nestle 1 garlic clove among the okra in each jar. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slowly pour the hot brine over the okra in each jar, leaving 1/2 inch/12 mm headspace. Gently tap the jars on a towel-lined countertop to help loosen any bubbles before using a wooden chopstick to dislodge any remaining bubbles. Check the headspace again and add more brine if necessary. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wipe the rims, apply the lids and rings, and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recipe: Mixed Pickling Spice\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can buy ready-made pickling spice from a variety of outlets and manufacturers and many of them are excellent. I like to mix my own so that I can customize the balance of flavors. As you spend some time making and eating your pickles, you can adjust the amounts to please your palate. The proportions I particularly like are listed below. However, if making your own pickling spice feels like a daunting task, feel free to use a pre-blended mix.

The author, whose new book \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Food-Jars-Preserving-Batches-Year-Round/dp/0762441437\">Food in Jars: Preserving in Small Batches Year-Round\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, is likely to be well received here, given this region's current preoccupation with preserving -- though, okay, maybe it doesn't quite rival the D.I.Y. zeal of \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYey8ntlK_E\">picklers in Portland\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll let McClellan be the judge of that, given her West Coast pedigree. A former Californian (she was born in Hollywood), who lived in L.A. until she was nine, McClellan moved with her family to Portland and went to college in Washington state. Post college, she relocated to Pennsylvania to take care of her ailing grandmother and wound up staying put -- and rediscovering the old-fashioned practice of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_canning\">putting up\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up on the West Coast, McClellan had apple and plum trees and blackberry bushes in easy reach. She went blueberry picking and came home to preserve with a mom who was touched by the back-to-the-land hippie vibe of that time and place. Every summer, McClellan remembers making a dozen jars of jam and filling the freezer with bags of apple sauce. It was just something she grew up knowing how to do, it wasn't like her family was canning crazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that can-do spirit never left McClellan, who writes a weekly pickling post for \u003ca href=\"http://www.seriouseats.com/in_a_pickle/\">Serious Eats\u003c/a>. The old-fashion practice became a modern passion and ended up finding a home in her new book, a collection of recipes for jams, jellies, marmalades, pickles, relishes, and chutneys -- with some syrups, sauces, and salsas thrown in for good measure, along with a boozy infusion or two.

Most classic canning recipes are designed to fill a canning pot, we're talking seven to nine pints. Living in a small apartment I found that was always far too much: My apartment is a little less than 1,100 square feet and my kitchen is about 80 square feet, so storage and counter space are at a premium. For me, small batches are a way to be creative and explore different flavor combinations without canning taking up my whole life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How would you characterize the canning community here?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The West Coast canning scene is about three or four years ahead of the East Coast -- that's just how things tend to happen in food trends -- the East Coast is a little slower to pick up on things. The West Coast has ridiculously beautiful produce. California, Oregon, and Washington are all blessed, and people should remember not to take it for granted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you miss about West Coast eating and drinking?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennsylvania has a lot of obnoxious liquor laws. I miss being able to buy a bottle of wine in the grocery store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I miss the general aesthetic and attitude of the West Coast around food -- especially California -- everybody is really engaged in food here, whether it's preserving or wanting to make things from scratch. On the East Coast I often feel like I'm shouting to an empty room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's wonderful on the food front where you live?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We get really great sour cherries. And sour cherry jam is one of my favorite jams to make. So I feel really lucky to live in a place that has such an abundant sour cherry season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're also fortunate to have the classic Brandywine tomato, which is originally from Pennsylvania. It was developed for that soil and it grows beautifully in that area. It's particularly good for sauces and salsas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/6-jars400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/6-jars400.jpg\" alt=\"6 jars\" title=\"6 jars\" width=\"400\" height=\"435\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44680\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Savory and sweet preserved produce.

There's the locavore movement: If you want to eat locally and have variety through the winter and live in a colder place, as I do, then you've got to can. There's the fact that people want some control over their food -- they want to avoid chemicals or \u003ca href=\"http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/22/bpa-lurks-in-canned-soups-and-drinks/\">BPA\u003c/a> -- and the best way to know what's in your food is by canning it yourself. There are also economic factors: People need to save money and canning can be one way to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there's also the fact that many people are really disconnected from their food and they want to be more in touch with it and canning is a way to do that too. All those factors are coming together and making it just a perfect storm for food preservation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/assorted-pickles400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/assorted-pickles400.jpg\" alt=\"Assorted pickles\" title=\"Assorted pickles\" width=\"400\" height=\"491\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44682\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Pickle pleasure.

So I never gave it much thought until the day someone introduced me to the company “We Love Jam” and their Blenheim apricot jam, and it blew my preserve-lovin’ mind. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While I can’t get those precious Blenheims where I live, I’ve found that just about any locally grown, tree-ripened apricot makes stellar jam and I can’t really see going a year without its sweet-tart goodness for spreading on buttered toast. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes:\u003c/strong> 3 (1 pint/500 ml) jars\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n6 cups peeled, pitted, and diced apricots (about 3 pounds/1.4 kg whole apricots)\u003cbr>\n31/2 cups/700 g granulated sugar\u003cbr>\nZest and juice of 1 lemon\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nPrepare a boiling water bath and 3 regular-mouth 1-pint/500 ml jars according to the process on page 11. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Place the lids in a small saucepan, cover them with water, and simmer over very low heat.\u003cbr>\nCombine the apricots and sugar in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the fruit is tender and the liquid looks syrupy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Add the lemon juice and zest and return to a boil. Insert your candy thermometer into the jam and attach it to the side of the pot. Let the jam boil vigorously until it reaches 220°F/105°C.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the jam has reached 220°F/105°C and the temperature has remained steady for 2 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and ladle the jam into the prepared jars. Wipe the rims, apply the lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/pickled-okra400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/pickled-okra400.jpg\" alt=\"Pickled okra\" title=\"Pickled okra\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44679\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Photo: Steve Legato\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recipe: Pickled Okra\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During my early canning days, I spent a week in Austin, Texas. It was there that I had the chance to try the most delectable fried okra I’d ever encountered. It transformed my opinion of this sometimes texturally challenging vegetable and sent me running to the kitchen to try it as a pickle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was transcendently good. Pickling manages to eradicate the interior slime and just leaves you with a crunchy, brine-filled pickle. It’s a dream eaten alongside a plate of spicy food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes:\u003c/strong> 4 (1-pint/500 ml) jars\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n3 cups/720 ml apple cider vinegar\u003cbr>\n3 tablespoons pickling salt\u003cbr>\n4 lemon slices\u003cbr>\n4 tablespoons Mixed Pickling Spice (see recipe below), divided\u003cbr>\n2 pounds/910 g okra, washed and trimmed\u003cbr>\n4 garlic cloves, peeled\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nPrepare a boiling water bath and 4 regular-mouth 1-pint/500 ml jars according to the process on page 11. Place the lids in a small saucepan, cover them with water, and simmer over very low heat. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Combine the vinegar, 3 cups/720 ml water, and pickling salt in a pot and bring the brine to a boil. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, put a lemon slice and 1 tablespoon pickling spice in the bottom of each sterilized jar. Then pack the okra in, first laying them in so that the points are up. Then insert another layer with the points down, so that they interlock. Nestle 1 garlic clove among the okra in each jar. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Slowly pour the hot brine over the okra in each jar, leaving 1/2 inch/12 mm headspace. Gently tap the jars on a towel-lined countertop to help loosen any bubbles before using a wooden chopstick to dislodge any remaining bubbles. Check the headspace again and add more brine if necessary. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wipe the rims, apply the lids and rings, and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Recipe: Mixed Pickling Spice\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can buy ready-made pickling spice from a variety of outlets and manufacturers and many of them are excellent. I like to mix my own so that I can customize the balance of flavors. As you spend some time making and eating your pickles, you can adjust the amounts to please your palate. The proportions I particularly like are listed below. However, if making your own pickling spice feels like a daunting task, feel free to use a pre-blended mix.

Speaking of her talk the previous night, she laughed at the thought of trying to profile just eight makers now. \"At the time, it was hard to find even eight people, enough to write about. I had to include a produce distributor, a guy who was raising pigs and lambs for Chez Panisse. Now, that would be ridiculous. You'd have to write an encyclopedia!\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If anything, she thinks we're underestimating the strength and staying power of the artisan movement.

He’s currently crafting several different varieties of kimchee, using the standard cabbage and daikon, and also rapini and turnip greens. He prides himself on making use of the “offal of vegetables” and thereby using ever part -- including radish greens, and reusing a vinegar pickle brine and the pickled garlic that flavors it. He dunks in the drink your standard vegetables such as cucumbers (see the recipe for Oiji below) and breakfast radish, but also more experimental concepts such as blueberries, summer squash, and fennel.

But another of the most impressive aspects of Chang’s cooking is that he makes his own gochuchang, the hot, salty and sweet fermented red pepper paste that is the basis of Korean cooking (akin to what miso is to Japanese cuisine). Few are the Korean chefs who make their own. Most Korean markets offer several different varieties, and if you’ve ever eaten Korean food, you’ve tasted it. It’s used in stir fries like bi bim bab, as a marinade for bulgogi, to flavor stews, as a condiment for crispy lettuce wraps, as the base for soups, and in many varieties of Korean pickles. I’d never tasted good gochuchang until I’d encountered Chang’s proprietary blend of glutinous rice, soybeans, red chili powder, and sugar. The sauce ferments for about 60-90 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/11/gochujang-final.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/11/gochujang-final.jpg\" alt=\"gochujang\" title=\"gochuchang\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-36050\">\u003c/a>“It took a while to learn the gochuchang. I went through so many batches where mold had developed. What I make is not as sweet as the store-bought stuff; more earthy.” Chang reports that in anticipation of the FuseBox opening, he’s experimenting with different varieties of gochuchang, including one for fish stews, and another to be eaten fresh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chang has kimchee and other Korean flavors flowing in his blood. As a child born in Korea, family friends gathered to play cards at his house and eat his mother’s well-loved kimchee chi gae. “There’s a Korean expression, ‘She just had her hands in the food,’ and that’s why it was so good. We didn’t have recipes or grow up with cooking books. Cooking was just innate to her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, after Chang’s family moved to Guam, his mother opened her own Korean restaurant when he was 13 years old, and he immediately began helping out by cleaning dishes, sweeping, and mopping. Later he was allowed to slice meat and occasionally pop into the kitchen. “I’m so grateful for everything she taught me, and I wish I’d followed her more. However, at the time, I didn’t think she was really, really cooking. It wasn’t as exciting as watching chefs on the cooking shows!” Growing up with Guam’s tiny and remote culinary culture, Chang laughs as he recalls that the PBS show \u003ca title=\"Great Chefs, Great Cities\" href=\"http://www.greatchefs.com/about/syndication/great-chefs-great-cities/\">\u003cem>Great Chefs, Great Cities\u003c/em>\u003c/a> was a huge influence on his career choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few days after his 17th birthday, Chang moved to Berkeley by himself to begin qualifying for in-state tuition at UC Berkeley, where he later studied sociology. To fund his schooling, he worked in a bagel shop, then as a butcher and a fishmonger at a market. He soon became a cook at the now-defunct Hwang Won, a Korean restaurant in Oakland, before launching his own catering business for 14 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After two years of effort, FuseBox has secured over \u003ca title=\"FuseBox on Kickstarter\" href=\"http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/188988154/fusebox-build-out-west-oakland-smallest-restaurant\">$17,000 via Kickstarter\u003c/a> (where I invested $25); enough to finish construction and, hopefully, have the inside complete for an opening this January.

I went through so many batches where mold had developed. What I make is not as sweet as the store-bought stuff; more earthy.” Chang reports that in anticipation of the FuseBox opening, he’s experimenting with different varieties of gochuchang, including one for fish stews, and another to be eaten fresh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chang has kimchee and other Korean flavors flowing in his blood. As a child born in Korea, family friends gathered to play cards at his house and eat his mother’s well-loved kimchee chi gae. “There’s a Korean expression, ‘She just had her hands in the food,’ and that’s why it was so good. We didn’t have recipes or grow up with cooking books. Cooking was just innate to her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, after Chang’s family moved to Guam, his mother opened her own Korean restaurant when he was 13 years old, and he immediately began helping out by cleaning dishes, sweeping, and mopping. Later he was allowed to slice meat and occasionally pop into the kitchen. “I’m so grateful for everything she taught me, and I wish I’d followed her more. However, at the time, I didn’t think she was really, really cooking. It wasn’t as exciting as watching chefs on the cooking shows!” Growing up with Guam’s tiny and remote culinary culture, Chang laughs as he recalls that the PBS show \u003ca title=\"Great Chefs, Great Cities\" href=\"http://www.greatchefs.com/about/syndication/great-chefs-great-cities/\">\u003cem>Great Chefs, Great Cities\u003c/em>\u003c/a> was a huge influence on his career choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few days after his 17th birthday, Chang moved to Berkeley by himself to begin qualifying for in-state tuition at UC Berkeley, where he later studied sociology. To fund his schooling, he worked in a bagel shop, then as a butcher and a fishmonger at a market. He soon became a cook at the now-defunct Hwang Won, a Korean restaurant in Oakland, before launching his own catering business for 14 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After two years of effort, FuseBox has secured over \u003ca title=\"FuseBox on Kickstarter\" href=\"http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/188988154/fusebox-build-out-west-oakland-smallest-restaurant\">$17,000 via Kickstarter\u003c/a> (where I invested $25); enough to finish construction and, hopefully, have the inside complete for an opening this January.

They specialize in seasonal pickles like pickled yellow wax beans, fennel, incredible shitaki mushrooms and beets (among many other rotating weekly choices). After working as a cook for years, eventually going to the Culinary Institute of America in New York, and moving to San Francisco in 2002, Emiliana started experimenting with pickling on her days off. The rest is history. Emiliana and Eva just began selling their pickles in Marin, but plans are already in place to branch out into other venues around the Bay Area and, someday, perhaps open a little artisan food shop. Chatting with both women, it's clear that a once weekend hobby can, with patience, persistence, and community support, become more of a viable business option. I asked them to tell us more about how they got started, what they're inspired by, and how the feel about the local Bay Area food scene. Here's what Emiliana had to say. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Tell me a little about your business, how and why you decided to start it.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFor the last year or so of working in restaurants I began to get a little restless. I wanted a little more time for myself, time to spend with Eva, to plan our wedding, to have a \"normal\" work schedule and to get home at a reasonable hour. I started thinking of ways in which I might be able to make a living without having to be in a restaurant 12-13 hours a day. I was really thinking about starting a business that specialized in making organic pickles using local ingredients when they are in season and pickling every ingredient with its own unique flavor profile. But it was just an idea at the time. Then, came our wedding; we got married in our home and made a ton of different pickles: carrots, baby fennel, green beans, spring garlic, radishes, etc. and we used those as part of our center pieces. It was a massive hit. Everyone loved them (we had my brother design a label for us that was a sketch of our home). For days and weeks after the wedding people were coming up to us saying \"You have to sell your pickles they are so good.\" That was the final push that I needed. Now with the help of La Cocina, Eva and my family we are finally out selling our products. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/10/pickles.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/10/pickles.jpg\" alt=\"pickles\" title=\"pickles\" width=\"500\" height=\"251\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34142\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n \u003cstrong>2. Why pickles?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nBecause they are delicious and you can use them or put them on everything. Fried pickles, pickled fennel salsa verde, tuna salad with pickled onions, Gibson martini with pickled ramps, Bloody Mary's with pickled yellow wax beans, fried green tomatoes made with sweet pickled green tomatoes, pizza with pickled jalapeños. And so on, and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. Do you think living in the Bay Area allows your business to flourish? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWithout a doubt, living in the Bay Area helps us to flourish. It puts us at such close proximity to our products from the wine vinegars that we use for our brine to the different fruits and veggies that we pickle. We also love the customers here. They are well informed, they know food, they know what they want and they are adventurous with what they eat which is great for us because one of the things that we really want to do is to continue to experiment with what we pickle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4.
