Seems like a shame to throw away and must have a use.

  • Might be a bit narrow, but if you wanted to make some pickle spears it should work.

    I like to do a fridge pickle (always gets eaten within a few weeks, so spoilage isn’t a huge concern). Something like this pickled jalapeño recipe works with most veggies, and you can use some whole black peppercorn and mustard seeds (or a pickling spice mix) to give it that pickle flavor.
