“I can't wait to hear how those come out!! We have  A BUNCH of peppers growing on out there in the garden. I would LOVE to try this one. It sounds a bunch like a recipe I used to use years ago but had lost track of. I don't like sweetness in my spicy pickled goods, so this one may fit nicely. I hope you update us on the flavour! Can't wait. Thanks lots and have a blessed day!”
