Hi
Sorry if I am late with my response. Guess the reflexes have slowed
down. Or di I just forget:-)
I made up three jars of the pickled Limes on the 8th August. I have not
opened them yet but have shrunk by about a third and turned to a jel.
I do not think that any further processing is required open and add to
food as any other pickle.
One more thing. My hab plant which I over wintered in the leanto has put
out new growth at the top and is flowering. The new plant along side is
much healthier and is now also in flower. Maybe starting new seeds
indoors under lights very early, like July, is a better option than
trying to keep them through winter. Harvest time will tell
