Daylily buds really make excellent pickles and you can generate them from the products of your own garden. These pickles are tangy, but not intensely vinegary. They’re a little hot, and a lot delicious; the perfect complement to a rich cheese, or prosciutto.

Ingredients:

900ml fresh daylily buds
200ml (1 cup) white wine vinegar
500ml (2 cups) water
100g (1/2 cup) sugar
1 tbsp sea salt
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1/4 tsp whole black peppercorns
1/2 tsp dried hot chillies
1/2 bay leaf

Method:

Combine all the ingredients (except the daylily buds) in a saucepan over high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.

Whilst the brine is simmering, pack the buds into cleaned and sterilized jars. Take the bring off the heat and pour over the buds, ensuring they are fully submerged. Secure tightly with lids and set aside to cool then label and store.

Allow to mature for 1 week before opening. Once opened store in the refrigerator where it will keep for up to a month.
