Summer, with its bounty of exquisite produce, couldn't be a more fitting time to preserve fruits and vegetables for less-than-abundant months to come. Last year, I was obsessed with making quick pickles; this year, I'd love to pick up some professional canning equipment so I can save jams, jellies, preserves, and pickles for the Winter. Have you dabbled in home preserving?

Given that some say we're in the middle of a food revolution, and local, sustainable, home-grown produce is popping up everywhere, it's only logical that an uptick in home preserving will happen, too. Enter Karen Solomon's Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It, a new book that's focused on making your own artisanal food products, either to keep or to give as gifts.

Being "in a pickle" means you're in a bad way, but eating pickles is always a good thing, at least in my opinion. Whether it's whole dill pickles that crunch between your teeth or sweet bread-and-butter slices on sandwiches, I can't get enough of pickles. Today is actually the first day of National Pickle Month, so I'm marking the juicy occasion with a pickle — and a pickle quiz!

As a continuation of my (and America's) recent fascination with pickling, I decided to try a recipe in this month's Food and Wine magazine for quick pickled tomatoes.
