Flavor-Infusing Pickling Barrels

This Pickle Barrel is Suitable for Pickling Just About Anything

— November 15, 2016 — Art & Design
Eating fermented foods is renowned for being a healthy part of a nutritious diet, so this pickle barrel can enable you to create just about anything you want. Crafted from American white oak, the barrel is handmade and features an interior section that has been lightly toasted in order to bring out the smoky flavor of the wood. When ingredients are placed within the vessel, the pickling process will help to infuse the flavor of the wood into each batch.

The pickle barrel is suitable for use with cucumbers, green beans, onions, carrots, garlic peppers, pig's feet, eggs, beets and much more. The barrel comes packed with a recipe booklet that will offer users four different recipes to get started making their own pickles.
