Ramp season is upon us, a good month earlier than usual here in Minnesota! I picked up a couple bunches at the co-op last week and pickled them over the weekend. I used a variation of this recipe, adapting it to what I had on hand. I added a bit of fresh orange zest and grated fresh ginger to season. These are just refrigerator pickles, and so have to be consumed within the week or so. That shouldn't be a problem.
Just a note about the greens: I chose not to pickle the green parts of the ramps, choosing instead to use them fresh, chopped into salads and the like. Fresh ramps are incredibly delicious, and so I find splitting the greens from the bulbs to be a nice way to enjoy both flavors.
