It’s that time again, y’all!  Spring is here.  Our Executive Chef’s Recipe of the Month is Pickled Ramps! We are so lucky to be in a region where ramps bountifully grow.  Try this delicious, onion-y root.  It is absolutely delightful when pickled!

2. Combine 1 tbsp. salt, all remaining ingredients, and 1 cup water in a 4-qt. saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Pour mixture over ramps and seal jar. Let cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
