My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Pickled Knockwurst

This might sound a little strange to some of you, but it's never to early to start thinking about Super Bowl and gathering your recipes together. When I lived in Marathon, actually Duck Key, Fl. in the early 80's we had a dive bar there that always had these. Perfect for guy type gatherings that include lots of beer. Make these at least 5 days before serving, plus they will last several weeks in the refrigerator. Plus it is nice to have something to grab a bite of when you are starving to death.

Pickled Knockwurst
Serves 4 or 5
print recipe

2 1/2 cups water
1 3/4 cups white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
20 peppercorns
16 whole allspice
1 1/2 pounds knockwurst, sliced on angle into 1/2-inch slices
1 medium white sweet onion, sliced into rings

In a saucepan combine water, vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns and allspice. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Let the marinade cool until it is lukewarm. Slice knockwurst and onions and arrange them in a 2-quart jar, alternating layers. Pour marinade over knockwurst, cover jar and refrigerate 3-5 days. WIll keep in refrigerator for several weeks.
