Serrated wrack is one of the seaweed species that's great eaten raw and which can be added directly to salads and soups. It also makes a simple and very tasty sweet pickle. Just shred the pickled leaves and use as a garnish.

Ingredients:

600g serrated wrack fronds, cut into 3-5cm lengths, washed in cold fresh water 3 times and drained
600ml white wine vinegar
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp black peppercorns
1/4 tsp coriander seeds
3 tbsp sugar
1/2 tbsp salt

Method:

Combine the vinegar, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, sugar and salt in a pan. Heat gently, stirring, until the sugar and salt dissolve then bring just to a boil, take off the heat and set aside to cool and infuse for 5 minutes.

Pack the washed serrated wrack into two pickling jars. Pour over the vinegar mixture, ensuring there are no trapped air bubbles. Ensure all the seaweed is covered. Seal with vinegar-proof lids and set aside to mature for at least 2 weeks.
