16th c German pickled vegetable recipe.
Red beets preserved with small cut horseradish/ anise/ coriander/ and a little caraway/ special if the beets are cut/ marinated in half wine and half vinegar. (Rumpolt, Accompaniments to roast meat, 3)
My Version
I used the recipe above to marinade beets, cauliflower and onion.
Peel the Cucumbers/ and cut them broad and thin/ season them with oil/ pepper and salt. But if they are salt-preserved/ they are also not bad/ are better than raw/ because one can salt it with Fennel and with caraway/ that both can be kept over one year. And near the Rhine-stream one calls it Cucummern (Rumpolt, Vegetables 20)
Lorelei made a wonderful pickled vegetable mix of cucumbers, pearl onions, and carrots. She did the salt preserving as is mentioned in this recipe.
