Homemade Refrigerator Pickles
The contents of a box like this one just beg to be turned into refrigerator pickles. You should have just enough cucumbers for this recipe. You’ll use a pepper or two, and if you’ve still got an onion around (mine are all gone – sadly), then you’ve got most everything you need. This makes a sort of bread-and-butter pickle. Other fresh refrigerator pickles don’t use sugar and add garlic and dill to make a kosher style pickle. There’ll be a million recipes online.
Red Pepper Jelly Vinaigrette
This recipe came from Southern Living magazine. Delicious with greens and goat cheese or use it as a marinade for pork or chicken.

Pepper Jelly
Those gorgeous peppers make me think it’s time to make pepper jelly. If you think you won’t use it, see the next recipe for a yummy vinaigrette. If you don’t have enough peppers in this week’s box, maybe you still have a few from last week? Or save this week’s and cross your fingers we’ll have some in next week’s box.
This is a recipe from Linton Hopkins of Restaurant Eugene.

Fresh Tomato Soup 2
Fresh tomato soup recipes abound. A few years ago I suggested a similar one to this, but it wasn’t heated and used sugar instead of honey. This one has more peppers in it ( you could use a jalapeno or two if you like) and just a tiny bit of cream. Serve it with a grilled cheese and caramelized onion sandwich ?
Grilled Chicken and Summer Squash Salad
I’m sorry to say I have no idea where this recipe originally came from, but it’s the kind of thing I make all year around. A great marinade for chicken or shrimp and vegetables. You can marinate the protein and vegetables up to 2 hours ahead.
