Pickled Collard Greens With Pineapple Recipes

Steps:

• Make pickled apples:
• Quarter and core apples, then cut each quarter lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Boil vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and pickling spice in a saucepan, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Add apples and return to a boil. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and cool. Chill, uncovered, until cold, about 1 hour.
• Prepare nuts while apples chill:
• Toast walnuts in oil in a small skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until a shade darker. Cool nuts in oil. Transfer nuts to a cutting board with a slotted spoon, reserving oil. Coarsely chop 1 tablespoon nuts and finely chop remaining nuts.
• Prepare collard greens:
• Halve each collard leaf lengthwise with kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cutting out and discarding center ribs. Stack leaves and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Just before serving:
• Transfer all nuts and oil from skillet to collards and toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Add apple slices, discarding pickling liquid and spices, and toss again.

Steps:

• Wash and spin-dry the greens and chop; combine the water, sugar, vinegar, salt and peppercorns in a large pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
• Add the greens and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes; cool and pack in a 1 quart jar with a lid; refrigerate for 2 days before serving.
