One year when we made pickles, we experimented and added a dash of this to a few jars and a dash of that to another. Best pickles we ever made, and no, i don't know what we did exactly. I know we added garlic to some, small bits of cayenne pepper to another, and extra dill to a third batch (all from my garden). megan blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555646904983619596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-14277053411596108282012-09-21T15:32:49.185+01:002012-09-21T15:32:49.185+01:00Hello Cro,

I have hope that they will ripen, but if not, maybe I will get into the pickling business. On the other hand, I do love fried green tomatoes.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.com
