In the book, Stalking the Good Life, Euell Gibbons tells of artichoke pickles.

“The artichokes are peeled, then packed in quart jars. I pour a cup of cider vinegar in each jar, then fill with cold water, add one clove of garlic, one red pepper, and a teaspoon of dill seed. That’s all. I just cover the jars and put them away to pickle.”
