And others, like the Boat Street Pickled Figs and the Murray’s cheese board and knife, are destined to become your new favorites.

In a Pickle

Pickles provide a much-needed counterpart to luxurious cheeses: acid. For the perfect pairing acid cuts through the creamy paste and allows you to do what’s most important: enjoy more of both items. Although most folks turn to wine for their acid allotment, don’t overlook pickles. Renee Erickson of Seattle’s Boat Street Café does them best. Pickling is Renee’s way to preserve the bounty of a variety of fruits and vegetables, including figs, plums and raisins. Don’t limit them just to cheese, either. They are equally appropriate atop ice cream, on roast pork, or as an accompaniment to foie gras.
