Pickled Magnolia Blossoms — Rooted Food

Name: Pickled Magnolia Blossoms — Rooted Food
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 220g magnolia flowers (about 6-7 cups packed) - For pickling, it’s ok to have older leaves. For eating fresh you want the younger nicer leaves.; 500mL rice vinegar (about 2-¼ cups) - Other light-bodied vinegars or a combination also works, I see a lot of people use apple cider vinegar, but I wanted the subtlety of the rice vinegar.; 110g granulated sugar (about ½ cup); 2 teaspoons Kosher salt

Instructions

Step 1

To Prepare

Step 2

Clean and dry flowers - carefully so you don’t bruise the petals.

Step 3

Add petals to a quart jar or two pint jars (pack tightly). Naturally, jars should be clean.

Step 4

Heat vinegar with sugar and salt to simmer and sugar/salt is dissolved, stirring as needing.

Step 5

Pour hot brine over petals.

Step 6

Using a clean spoon or other utensil, submerge petals under brine several times as they inevitably rise to the top. Optional I like to use a clean plastic bag or smaller mason jar with a little water to make sure the petals stay submerged.

Step 7

Cover with lid, allow to come to room temperature, then refrigerate.
