RAMPS (WILD LEEKS) DILL PICKLES
The flavor of ramps is similar to onions with a touch of garlic, particularly like scallions, but wilder. They can be used just like scallions. In Appalachia, they are so popular that festivals are dedicated to them. They've been a staple of Southern Appalachian cooking for generations. Scallions (white part only) may be substituted for the ramps. Cooking time is approximate. While this recipe is written in a relatively old-fashioned way, it is perfectly safe if processed using modern methods.
