It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

I made it with only 3tblsp salt the first time, because of the review I read. They were good but tasted like bread & butter pickles. The second time I added 3 cloves of garlic to the first step in a double recipe, and only 3 tblsp salt total. They were much more like dill pickles. Peppers also add good flavor.
I just tried this recipe. After the final step I tasted a couple of the pickles. They were very very salty. I rinsed them and even cut up a potato in them to try to kill the salt. Unfotunately I had to throw the batch out. I would suggest to anyone who tries this in the future to reduce the amount of salt.
You didn't freeze them? I'm wondering if the freezing process changes the saltiness.
