Pickling is a preserving process I like to use
I do like pickles.  When did pickling start?
Not sure? But pickling unlike canning does not require the food be sterile
So you just toss it in some brine and you are all done?
Yeah and pickling preserves food for moths
Can anything be pickled?
Well you can pickle meat, fruits, eggs and vegetables so a lot of foods can be pickled
I have heard of pickled eggs, but that sounds pretty gross
I add antimicrobial herbs and spices like garlic, mustard seed, cloves or cinnamin as well
Cinnamin?  is that common with pickling?
