Why are we so obsessed with pickled peppercorns, the gorgeous berries from an unripe pepper plant that have been pickled in a vinegary brine? Because their distinct notes of salt, acid, and warm spice make them perfect for any dish that begs for a piquant tang, whether it's a French beurre blanc sauce or a rich Thai curry.
