Something that I have been wondering....   for crisp pickles you slice off a 
small amt of the blossom end of the cuke because of the natural softening 
enzyme that is located there.  Is there a similar enzyme in peppers?

One other thing that I learned the hard way is that garlic will turn 
blue/purple if there is iron in the water.  I refrigerator pickle a lot of 
garlic, peppers, onions, cukes etc.
