The pickling trend is big, and for good reason. A salty brine seasoned with Sysco McCormick Imperial pickling spice adds zest—and shelf life—to fresh seasonal vegetables. Here we’ve made a colorful mix of carrots, radish, turnips and even rhubarb.

BACON MAPLE MUSTARD JAM

FOR THE JAM

FOR THE PICKLED VEGETABLES
- Bring balsamic vinegar, two cups cold water, salt and pickling spice to a simmer for 30 minutes.
