How to Make Sweet Pickled Vegetables That Will Blow Your Mind!

[@SweenyTV]

I'm sad to know that Steve has passed, but I am grateful for the decision to turn the comments back on. I've spent many hours watching the videos and trying to recreate the recipes at home. R.I.P. Steve, and Mrs. Sheila, you are doing a wonderful job with the new videos.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thank you!!!! Couldn't do it without Jennifer!!! :):)

[@SweenyTV]

@@CookingwithShotgunRed yeah...she is great and takes the lead... We love y'all...the ones who like the videos, share the videos...keep 'em coming.

[@mrenfilade7178]

I'm glad this old boy is on the internet forever! I miss you, Steve!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks for being here for Steve! He would appreciate it!

The ends of the asparagus can be dehydrated, ground to a powder, and used to flavor soups.

[@angelaborbon6335]

I freeze them along with other trimmings for stock.

[@sarahposey7166]

I used to boil mine really hard and then strain the real fibrous part off and make cream of asparagus soup from them much as you suggested from the dry and dehydrated I like that suggestion.

[@DustyC75080]

Yeah, I like eating them along with the rest of the spears - hate seeing them wasted. :)

[@carriem7832]

I dehydrate mine and add to my green powder veggie mix I put in soups, casserole etc…my husband doesn’t like good greens so What Happens In The Kitchen stays in the kitchen…lol…if he only knew that yummy chili hr eats has avacado in it…🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@deanframe9095]

Oooh great idea!

[@mimib6253]

Tried the recipe for Pickled watermelon rind and they were just divine, so I'm super stoked to try this too (I've started making my own Apple cider vinegar now too)

[@cindysebastiani998]

I’m so sorry Red has passed. He will be missed. I loved his videos and his humor. I didn’t know until just this video. So glad his wife is continuing his legacy.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks Cindy!

[@jeffrains9569]

say what? when, how the heck I miss that? Wow my thoughts and prayers for you!

[@joannminor101]

So sorry for his families loss. Enjoyed watching and learning about pickling. Praying for his family.

[@spoetryqueen]

I miss this guy. But I'm grateful for the recipes still being here ☺️

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks for watching!

[@bustersmith5569]

Thank you !! Looks awesome 👍,,, I'm grateful all his video's are still available to watch,,, thank you Sheila for keeping the channel going !!!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

You are so welcome

[@jamesgaul3544]

Dear Sheila, I'm sorry for your loss. I am really enjoying Steve's videos. Blessing in Christ Jesus.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks James! You can type in shotgunred1000 and see alot of video's of Steve out fishing in his garden etc... shotgunred.com

[@victoriablanc761]

we dehydrate the bottom third of the asparagus. I throw them in the dehydrator when we do other stuff. once dry I run them through my bullet blender and make asparagus powder. It's super nutritious and goes in all our soups and stews to add flavor and vitamins. Will for sure make these veggies in the fall to preserve some of our harvest for winter. great video.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks for sharing!

[@azeemali7102]

always insightful easy 2 understand in laymans terms world need more people like that

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

100% agree. I could not cook for myself at one time, well I could but just really really basic stuff, this guy lays it out in a way that you can just understand and feel confident. I have been making so many more things than I ever did and they are coming out amazing. better than anything I can go get at a restaurant or fast food.

[@jc_wesson]

Made this brine last week for a jar of cucumbers and onions. Really good flavor.

[@danieltaras854]

The Man, The Myth, The Legend!

[@marinelastone1822]

Wow I really enjoyed watching your recipe,thank you for sharing it

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

You’re so welcome!👍😃

[@lakesideaudio]

Thanks for this video, we bought some Kilner jars to do this with veg, looking forward to this. I had a meal in Italy last year with pickled veg and it was amazing, haven’t stopped talking about it

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Sounds great!

[@Bluemoon-sd8vp]

I will make these. Thank you. I like to eat pickled veggies with crackers and cheeses. So pretty !!!

[@Grizz_Zilla]

RIP every time I pickle something I think of you. Thank you for keeping this channel active.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

[@klaralee98]

So sad to hear he passed. GOD BLESS HIS SOUL.

[@mimib6253]

OMG I had no idea, he will certainly be missed

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

yes it breaks my heart. I feel like had a good soul and he cooked and presented in a way that made me feel like I could do these things and I HAVE been making more and more different things that I never felt confident to make before. It is a lot of fun.

[@fawazr]

Right? I found his videos through the algorithm, followed some of his recipes (which I rarely do), only to discover he passed. He lives on through delicious food.

[@JoeHell67]

I will start pickling! I like the hot sauce versions. Glad the girls keeping this channel alive although it will never be the same without Steve... be safe... Joe from Germany

[@awake6472]

Can I ask please how long you could store them for. Any good for long term?

[@marytervo5560]

Just found this sight. Love it! My sympathy to you and your family.

[@jeannetaylor2217]

Absolutely love this idea!

[@billwalker4836]

Ladies, Up in The Twin Cities at the Mall of America (MOA) they have an Everything Garlic Store...next time you make the pickled Gardinera you gotta toss in a head of pealed garlic cloves they are a great addition and taste superb...at the store they sell pint and quart size jars of pickled garlic with or without hot peppers. Last summer I made pickled taqueria with loads of Jalapenos, carrots, onions, and garlics...that stuff was incredible...I saw your pickled watermelon rinds, gonna do those soon, as I have an uncut melon in my fridge... but the taqueria and these mixed Gardinera veggies got my mouth watering... BTW I'm so sorry to have read that Steve in no longer with us may he RIP. Please keep the recipes rolling as I am kinda a newcomer to this page thanks for what you ladies are doing

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Sounds really good

[@karenarmstrong9679]

I LOVE all of your recipes !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to comment before , but comments were shut off. Are you and Shiela " a couple" ? He treats you so good . Love that !!! always always talks about you

[@karenarmstrong9679]

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

[@jaharileah]

Can I still use this recipe without sugar?

[@danielmason260]

The pickled vegetables look good buy I like hot stuff more. I'm diabetic and don't need the extra sugar. I'd like to see a video on hot pickled ocra.

[@lydiadelossantos1096]

That looks really good 👍

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks for watching and subscribing!!!! :)

[@mimib6253]

Everything I've tried from here has been outstanding

[@beverlysmith2407]

Chopped-up garlic would also be good in the mixture.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Great tip!😀👌

[@oolum]

I am new to pickling, but I wondered if minced garlic or even garlic cloves would be okay to include? I know the value to health of garlic and the value of fermented/pickled foods, and I love the flavor garlic adds so, thought it couldn't hurt to ask if it presents a problem when pickling? What about sweet pickled garlic cloves by themselves?

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

It sounds great!

[@dennaspradlin9777]

I wanted to meet him and his wife one day * the two were such a good couple* my grandmother she was always in & out of hospitals she left to the other side of the world from me too* I always felt like one day I would see her & have a good talk with her she had alzheimers & died * I never saw her again i think about all the people i wasted my life never meeting .. I'm so old now .. it just shows what you want to do in life do it * or you may never have a chance to do it at all* to the person passing away or ones ownself one day *

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

[@elenakurus2010]

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thank you so much! 👍😊

[@SandraLovesSun]

Looks amazing!!!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

It was!

[@kiosaton]

To keep them fresh and stable.

[@jaysweet8126]

It's simmering the ending cracks me up every time to funny it's the third time lol the garden is going good

[@lanebashford3982]

For how long do the pickles keep in the fridge?

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Aprox 2 to 3 weeks

[@marytervo5560]

If there pickled why can’t they be shelf stable. Or do they need to be water bathed first?

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Yes, It is recommended to water bath for safety. Many people find it keeps the veggies crisper.

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

How did they turn out ?

[@maem7636]

rnupnorthbrrr SM, Sorry to tell you that Shotgun Red died years ago. I just found out this past week and I cried. I had been watching his videos and didn't even know that he has died long before I began watching his channel. I am sure that the pickles turned out great ! God bless you ! "

[@rmd8873]

Cooking for regular folks. Tks

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Our pleasure!

[@Lavender-blue80]

Does one have to sterilise the bottles before using. If so, how.

[@colleenpritchett6914]

Boil or clean well, place in oven at 220 for 20”

[@crystalmariedemecs9257]

Does anyone know what pickle seasoning is. Like what is it made out of?

[@tomconcitis9322]

Check the ingredients list on the container at the grocery store

[@jeffrains9569]

need to do some next time home to bring on the road

[@hoburn1]

...miss ya Steve!...

[@vickigagne4109]

Can I use monk fruit sugar instead of regular sugar?

[@AnnetteGunther-kl1wl]

What is the shelf life on the pickled vegetables please

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

The pickled vegetables or fruit will keep for about 5 to 6 months in a jar - always make sure to refrigerate whatever you pickle.Jul

[@rickharks4515]

you actually made Giardiniera it is ltailian pickled/marinade veggies

[@DebraWeikle]

Thank you for everything 😢

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

You’re very welcome!👍😊

[@kathyroose1146]

I thought for sure you have to put vinegar salution on veggies while really warm so it penetrates better??

[@winemaker279]

ARTWORK

[@ronaldpiper4812]

Wonder what turnips would taist like.

[@mikecarrillo1029]

I was looking for a video on pickling my cucumbers and scrolled down the list and there he was. I don't think I've ever seen this video before and I thought I've seen them all. I must've missed it. R.I.P. big man. Is he not the best? If he ain't he oughta be.(spoiler alert, he is!)

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

[@critterjon4061]

What would you do with this

[@1954evelyn]

I miss you so much, Steve. I still come and watch your videos and the girls also

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks Evelyn for being a subscriber for the last 3 years! We appreciate you for watching this channel!

[@nordicstarhomestead7314]

Can you use this recipe for eggs??

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

you reuse pickle brine, you are recycling the same brine. This is not good because it dilutes flavor and can become unsafe. So, if you want to pickle eggs in their shell then put them in fresh water every time after removing to clean off any excess salt or spice mix on the shells or repeat until satisfied.

[@mariaroos9333]

Om from Sweden and Love U❤ fint fond the spices 😢

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thank you Maria!

[@LemmyAuditYou]

Miss you Steve, much Love to Sheila

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thank you so very much! ❤️😊

[@alittleofeverything4190]

What's in the pickling spice? Don't worry about it. LOL

[@d.g.2896]

Really nice guy.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks!

[@geraldsmith1232]

Are your jars sanitized

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Yes they are! :)

[@AsTheWheelsTurn]

they do not really need to be though, just FYI. washing with soap and water is just fine, the brine will not allow any bacteria to grow, that is the whole point behind pickling, it is a way to preserve food that they used LOOOONG before everyone got all crazy about sanitizing. not to say it is a bad thing to sanitize your jars but it is a redundant thing without a doubt.

[@ednafeurtado7160]

It want leak if pour slowly.

[@angelofernandespedroforte9313]

The asparagus?

[@caroljohnson8166]

Where is the water in the brine

[@mikeyjerry3189]

About to say where’s that onion

[@tinaautrey9121]

3 cups sugar. To hot to seal

[@deborahwhaley9741]

Take them an make it in broth.

[@shawnjwoloschuk287]

I'm going to try this, the picked hotdogs was great idea, I've been watching this channel for a long time, my first food videos ever, I've lost my virginity , I still love watching 🙋 with my toes pointed ! Lol hopefully I get a smile sjw

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@crowvelle]

Why the hell did I never think of that? Every one of you, start breaking the stems off those things. They will no longer charge us for inedible garbage.

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Another way to save money! I LOVE tips myself. If you know any about food feel free to comment with them

[@kathyknepp9883]

I thinly slice the hard part and add to salad. It's like crunching carrots. Also, slice thin & dehydrate. Make powders out of it and use in soups, casseroles, whatever.

[@dianechampagn5332]

Pickled hot dogs? 😲

[@sheilagraceschauer4303]

I did not know he passed,so sad

[@lamajarmystrong91]

Still teaching ppl!

[@CookingwithShotgunRed]

Check Steve out on shotgunred1000 there's alot of video's of Steve fishing and in his garden and road shows etc....

[@zombie_snax]

I only clicked on this video because I thought he was a hot fat chick. I stayed and subscribed for the mustache .The fact I learned some great tips about asparagus has nothing to do with it . 😋

[@sheilagraceschauer4303]
