I wanted to ask him for a taste but Truman was in his whirling-est of dervish moods and started banging a stick on pickle lids, after which he obviously determined I was a nuisance and proceeded to ignore me until I went away. but the good news is, I took a photo! and plan to try again to pester him and discover his recipe another day. he does a lot of things in the sour pickle method so I'm eager to see what his process is.

I've never tried the version or pickled ramps, so I can't weigh in, but hope this helps nonetheless! <em>Thanks Robin, I'm heading over to check out Ann's post now! -Marisa</em> Ann from “A Chicken in Every Granny Cart” blog posted a pickled ramp recipe the other day—and someone in the comments said something (can’t remember if she loved or wanted to try) about Colicchio’s version.

Maybe you can try it both ways and compare after the fact. I wonder if they'll have ramps at today's inaugural Fountain Farmer's market. If I find them, I might give pickled ramps a whirl. <em>Joy, I think that's just what I'm going to do. No need to reinvent the wheel when I have something I'm happy with! I hope the Fountain market was fruitful! -Marisa</em> If you like your regular brine why not stick with what works? Maybe you can try it both ways and compare after the fact.

If you're not a fan of sweet pickles, the Colicchio recipe may not be for you. That said, I'm really happy with the way the recipe turned out. The ramps retained their crunch and their pungent/spicy flavors weren't at all overwhelmed by the sweet and sour brine. I'll munch on one or two straight up but they're particularly good with cheese and/or cured meat sandwiches as well as on burgers. cheers, David <em>Hey David, thanks for the comment!
