Tomates Cherry En Escabeche. Translation: Pickled Cherry Tomatoes. I LOVE preserving, pickling and candying anything I can get my hands on! So far, I’ve pickled nectarines, candied jalapenos and I make my own fruit preserves all the time. I even got my very own water-bath canner for Chanukah but I haven’t had the chance to try it […]
