Pickled Frog's Balls

Looking for a crunchy, tangy treat, Try these Pickled Frog Balls  (a.k.a. Brussels Sprouts) for a zesty snack that amps up any meal!

Ingredients:

- 2 cups Brussels Sprouts

- 4 cups Water

- 1 tbsp Salt

- 1/3 tsp Turmeric

- 1 Cup White Vinegar

- 1 Cup Water

- 1 tbsp Celery Seed

- 1 tbsp Mustard Seed

- 2/3 Cup White Sugar

Directions:

1. Start by prepping your Brussels sprouts: trim those tough stems, peel away any outer leaves, and slice them in half.

2. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of salted water to a boil and cook the halved sprouts for about 4 minutes (blanch your frog's balls). You want them vibrant green and just tender. Drain and dump into an ice bath to stop cooking.  Drain and set aside.

3. Next, pack those beautiful halved sprouts into a mason jar, making sure to leave some space for the brine.

4. In a separate pot, combine the turmeric, white vinegar, 1 cup of water, celery seed, mustard seed, and white sugar. Bring this lovely mix to a boil to create your brine.

5. Carefully ladle the hot brine over the packed Brussels sprouts in the jar, ensuring they're fully covered.

6. Seal that jar up tight and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, pop it in the fridge. For the best flavor, let these pickle overnight!

Enjoy your tangy Pickled Frog Balls as a snack, side dish, or a unique topping for your favorite meal. Happy pickling!
