We are to love our neighbors as ourselves – and that standard of comparison, as ourselves , is often taken as an implicit command to love ourselves. On this view, the wording not only permits self-love but commands it; it not only sanctions self-esteem but reinforces its importance. On the face of it, however, self-love in Mark 12 is merely presupposed, not advocated. To read much of the contemporary literature, evangelical and otherwise, on self-esteem is to inhabit a domain a long way removed from the second great commandment.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the mirlitons in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds. Cut each half
lengthwise into slices about 1/2-inch thick. Put the mirlitons, carrots,
onions, and garlic in a large bowl. Cover with ice and cold water. Let sit
for 2 hours to perk up the vegetables. Drain thoroughly. In a large
nonreactive stockpot, combine the vinegar, bay leaves, salt, sugar,
peppercorns, cayenne, and mustard. Bring to a boil. Add the vegetables,
reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Sterilize
7 quart-size preserving jars and keep hot. Soak the lids and keep hot. Pack
each jar tightly with the vegetables, dividing them evenly, add enough of
the hot liquid to come within 1/2-inch of the top. With a clean damp towel,
wipe the rim and fit with a hot lid. Tightly screw on the metal ring and
process in a hot-water bath for 15 minutes. Using tongs, remove the jars,
place on a towel, and let cool. Test seals. Tighten the rings. Store in a
cool dry place. Let age for 4 to 5 weeks. Once pickled, mirlitons can be
used in salads, as a relish or to garnish a martini. This recipe yields 7
quarts.
