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.
