About the vinegar pickling, I meant pickling the grape leaves in vinegar, not taking the time to ferment them in brine. Thanks, if you find out from her, I’d be very interested.

Awesome! I haven't done the brining myself, but a friend gave me her home-brined leaves. They were wonderful! I have no expertise to offer, though. I can ask her how she did it and she if she knows anything special about flavors. But I want to specify that she brined the leaves, which I then used to this recipe. The dolmas themselves were not brined. I've not done that. I don't know what you mean by "quick vinegar pickle"? Have fun! Faith – How wonderful that you’ll be gathering wild grape leaves! Awesome!

So good! We just found a nearly limitless number of wild grape leaves I'm going to harvest this weekend. You mentioned you've had brined leaves before. I have only had the canned variety before, I'm pretty sure, and I'm looking to recreate that sour flavor. Have you done the brining yourself? I'm wondering if there's anything that would make a difference with the flavor while they are fermenting besides salt? I'm also wondering if I could do a quick vinegar pickle with some of them so I could use them quicker? Anyway, not sure if you've done any of this before but wanted to check. Thanks! Hi Wardeh,

A light steaming would make them pliable and rollable. You'd brine if you want to preserve them long-term. I can't comment on what they taste like as I've only ever had brined or store-bought grape leaves. Dascott – I don’t believe they need to be brined to use right away.

What I was wondering is, if using fresh leaves, do they need to be brined before cooking with. If not, what do they taste like? Is the taste similar to something else like spinach, collards, or perhaps kale? I’ve recently seen stuffed grape leaves at my local market.
