With the heat winding down comes one of our favorite late summer rituals: jarring up the last of our garden (or farmers’ market) bounty. Get your cukes in a row – here are five ways to pickle fresh summer produce before it’s gone.

These spicy cucumbers are inspired by oi muchim, a Korean banchan (side dish), you might recognize from Korean BBQ restaurant spreads. Gochugaru, a red pepper powder, brings the heat to this refreshing side which comes together in 45 minutes. Make a big batch and whip these flavorful pickles out whenever you need to slide some extra veggies into your meal. They’re the perfect companion to barbecued mains, noodles dishes or on their own as a healthy snack.

You can’t fry all that okra, can you? Make a haul last with Kardea Brown’s recipe that can be enjoyed right away – but actually taste even better after several days.

Taco Tuesday is about to get a whole lot tastier thanks to this popular Mexican condiment. Prep Gabriela Camara’s pickled red onions to add zing, crunch and color to anything from tacos to grilled meats. Lime juice preserves the onions and mellows out their sharp flavor, while chile adds a welcome touch of heat.
