Related: About this forumPickled strawberries! Had never heard of them before last night, when a
friend wanted to know if I had pink peppercorns, which, of course, I do.
Has anybody here had any experience with them? Favourite recipe?
Thanks in advance.

I can't eat fresh strawberries, I love the flavor of fresh berries, but pickled sounds interesting and I'd like to try them.

(93,098 posts)They just have an unpleasant gastronomic affect. Maybe pickling them could help that.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen strawberries for pickled strawberries?
Pickling is best done with fresh strawberries, but frozen can be used in a pinch. Thaw before pickling, but note that the berries may have a softer texture than their fresh counterparts.
Can I make pickled strawberries with underripe berries?
Yes! Underripe strawberries will result in tasty pickled berries. Depending on their tartness, you may need to adjust the sugar quantity to balance their flavor.
Can I store pickled strawberries for an extended period of time?
Due to their relatively low acidity, these strawberries may not be suitable for hot water bath canning methods. They're best stored in the refrigerator and used quickly.
