Pickled fish and veggies

[Dark Cloud]

Here ya go Thunder...

Last trip on the ice some of you guys got to try my Pickled Sunfish. First time I ever made em and they were quite good. Here is the recipe I used plus I added about a half cup of white wine to the brine. The jar that I added about a dozen jalapeno slices to was real good. Not hot but flavored nice...

The recipe is from a fellow FM'r BD110

Pickled Northern:

3 lbs of Northern chunks per recipe. 3 lbs makes 3 Quarts of pickled fish.

1st step:

Mix 4 cups of water with 1 cup of canning salt (I use an ice cream bucket) Mix your 3lbs of Northern into the water and salt mixture. This step lasts for 2 Days (48 hrs) Stir the Northern chunks at least once during the 48 hrs so all parts of the fish are covered.

2nd Step:

Drain and rinse Northern chunks well. Place back into ice cream bucket and cover with white vingar. This step takes 24 hrs. Mix chunks at least once during this step and add more vingar if needed to keep Northern chunks covered.

3rd Step:

Make your brine. Pour 3 cups of white vingar into a pot and add 3 of Sugar. Bring this to a boil. The brine must cool before it is put in the jars so allow yourself the amount of time you will need to do this.

4th Step: Drain the vingar from your Northern chunks in your icecream buckets and cut yourself at least 1 sweet onions into slices. Now pack your 3 quart jars layering them with fish and onions until the jars are full. In each quart jar add 1 Tablespoon of Durke pickling spices and fill each jar with your brine.

Cover your jars with lids and rings and place in the frig for 7-10 days and it's time to injoy some pickled Northern.

You can also add jalapeno peppers or mild banana peppers along with each layer of onions if you would like to tang things up a bit.

Good luck and let me know how this works out for you if you try this recipe.

Take care,

Tom (BD110)

I would rather pickle my Nut Sack, use a gas auger, watch NASCAR and put a salad fork in my eye, than eat or follow that recipe

That recipe will go in my memory/recipe bank

I remember you telling me about the recipe on Owasco...you were too busy pickle smooching with Beth than putting 50 PeeSeeds on the ice
