Pickled Garlic Scapes are an easy way to keep garlic scapes around a little longer. These are easy "refrigerator pickles," which means they require no heat processing but must be kept in the fridge.

Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 1 pint Pickled Garlic Scapes
Ingredients:
- About 15 garlic scapes

Preparation:
- Trim garlic scapes, curl them up, and place them in a pint jar with a tight fitting lid.
- Work the chile, if you're using it, into the jar with the garlic scapes.
- In a small saucepan heat the vinegar, salt, and sugar with 1 cup of water until simmering and salt and sugar are dissolved.
