Pickled Frog Balls (AKA Brussels Sprouts) – The Snack with a Bite!

1. Blanch the Sprouts: Boil Brussels sprouts in salted water for 4–5 minutes, then dunk them into ice water to cool. This keeps them crisp and vibrant.

2. Sterilize Your Jars: Make sure your jars and lids are clean and hot.

3. Spice It Up: In each jar, add garlic, mustard seeds, dill seeds, and red pepper flakes.

4. Pack & Pour: Fill jars tightly with Brussels sprouts. Boil vinegar, water, salt, and sugar, then pour hot brine over the sprouts.

5. Seal & Process: Wipe rims, seal jars, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

6. Patience Pays Off: Let jars sit for a few weeks to let the flavors fully develop!

🧄 Why You’ll Love Them:

• Tangy, spicy, and packed with zesty flavor

• Great on charcuterie boards, Bloody Marys, or straight outta the jar

• A conversation starter with a legendary name 😄
