JERUSALEM -
Early in the summer, eye-catching posters, issued by the Vegetable Production and Marketing Board, appeared urging: "Don't miss out on the season, pickle cucumbers." This turns into a ' catchy slogan in Hebrew, because the words for missing an opportunity, and pickling, are identical.
The poster evokes cosy, domestic images of neatly-labelled jars of preserves and pickles lined up on kitchen shelves.
One imagines armies of worthy homemakers busily sterilizing pickle jars and boiling up brine solutions. As is well-known, any negligence or slovenliness iri preparatioji^ any failure to abide by the very letter of the awesome and daunting instructions, will result in the bogies of soft, mushy, rotting vegetables and/or mould formation.
Anyway, the fact of the ^matter is, that I did miss the season: I did not pickle cucumbers.
Doubtless, part of the reason for this disgraceful lapse, was a latent unwill-
irigriess to go along with the obsessively clinical measures necessarily to make pjckles successfully. But the problem is that Succoth is almost done — the traditional season for sampling the preserves and pickles laid away during the summer months.
There is no need to desfiair though, rescue is at hand: you can prepare these del'cious, worry-free pickled cucumbers and spiced peaches in next to no time, and still salvage your reputation as an industrious and talented homemaker.
This cheery po'ster. issued by the Vegetable Production and Marketing Board in liirael, reads: "Don't miss'the sea.son - pickle cucumbers." See recipe.s.
