"A good friend gave me this recipe many years ago after I munched down nearly a quart while visiting! I threw out ALL my other dill pickle recipes because THIS ONE is the best. Several years ago, it occurred to me to enter my pickles in the County Fair. So I did. Since I'm superintendent over in the Junior Foods & Nutrition Department, I..."

"I use a lot of bell peppers when I cook, and I like to use all different colors, but those yellow and orange babies get mighty pricey where I live, so when they go on sale I buy up a few of every color and they're right at my fingertips whenever I need them!

"You can use this recipe to can any amount. I sometimes do only 1 quart (if that's all the ripe tomatoes I have on hand).

While some folks advocate adding..."

I see in the latest Ball Blue Book that they list the proper way is to hot pack it. I truly don't see the difference between wild game and raw pack pork. I use the basic directions for stew meat."

"Well, it may not be "THE" Peter Piper's recipe for those famous Pickled Peppers, but if it's not, he'd better consider adopting this one instead. Make up a couple jars and keep in the fridge for the crispest peppers. For longer storage, you can process in a boiling water bath. Absolutely WONDERFUL on a roast beef sandwich (hot..."
