How to cook deliciously - Honey-Vinegar Preserved Ramps
1. Stage
Clean and trim ramps. Place the ramps in a 12-inch skillet. Add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss with tongs to fully coat. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and cook the ramps until the stems and leaves are gently wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and toss to combine. Remove from heat.
2. Stage
Meanwhile, inspect two 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until ramps are ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
3. Stage
Using the tongs, transfer to the two sterile glass jars with sealable lids. Tuck the leaves and stems into the jars with a table knife or spoon. Divide the remaining olive oil between the jars, followed by peppercorns and salt. Set aside.
4. Stage
Place vinegar and honey in a small saucepan. Whisk well. Simmer over medium heat for 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour over the ramps to cover. Let cool to room temperature. Seal and place in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
