Pickled Mustard Greens

When I was young, I remembered my mom keeping an ice cream bucket full of pickled mustard greens in the fridge. My mom only made it once in awhile. I like eating it with dried peppers. It has a sour taste and the dried peppers add spice to it. I haven’t had it in years. I found some seeds and grew some mustard greens to make this. My husband isn’t a fan of it so only I eat it. I haven’t introduce it to my kids yet; probably when they get older.

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs of Mustard Greens
  • 6 cup hot water
  • 2 tbsp vinegar
  • ¼ cup salt



Directions:

Rinse the mustard greens and drain.
