hey pods~ i am de-lurking to see who has a goof-proof recipe for preserving peppers in a manner that keeps the crunch. specifically i need to help a friend pickle a peck of jalas as she has given up getting a batch to stay crisp. me thinks she is pickling them as you would a cucumber/dill pickle. any recipes or good links much obliged. best to all, h. alan, a.k.a. the prairiehabanero ------ http://USFamily.Net/info - Unlimited Internet - From $8.99/mo! ------
