For a wild green that makes its presence known with such intense pungency, the elusive ramp seems to arrive and disappear each spring faster than you can pass the breath mints.
Blackberry Farms in Walland, Tennessee, offers a solution for everyone who has ever wished they could bottle it up: ramp kraut. A winner of the 2016 Good Food Award, the kimchi-inspired condiment adds tang and depth to everything from beans and corn bread to grilled meats, scrambled eggs, fish fillets, and rice dishes.
