Yield Makes 3 pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds fennel, (about 9 bulbs), trimmed and sliced into very thin rings
1 medium orange
2 cups white vinegar
5 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
6 whole pieces star anise

Steps:

  • Wash three pint jars with lids in hot soapy water, and rinse well. (You can use canning jars and lids, but you don't have to.)
  • Wash fennel, and cut away any bruises or bad spots; trim ends and slice into very thin rings. Cut three 1-inch-long strips of peel from orange. Remove any pith from peel.
  • Bring 1 1/2 cups water, vinegar, salt, and sugar to a boil in a large pot.
  • Meanwhile, fill each jar halfway with fennel. Place 1 orange rind and 2 pieces star anise on top of fennel. Fill jar with remaining fennel, using the back of a clean spoon to pack it down. Leave 3/4 inch of space beneath the rim.
  • Pour hot liquid over fennel, covering it by 1/4 inch and leaving 1/2 inch of beneath the rim of each jar. Place lids on jars, and let stand until cool. Store jars in refrigerator; serve within 3 to 5 days.

This is a great recipe for using up leftover fennel. I always have a few bulbs in my fridge and this is a great way to use them up.
