Lots of stars as tried back in Sept/02 the beginning of my Zaar Addiction!!! The zuke seeds go into the garden this weekend and this definitely gets another try at harvest.

The kids made a bunch of these to go in their lunchboxes. We stuck them in the freezer then they pull them out as needed. They are really good.

These are great. Made as directed w/o the salt and the kids devoured them. Thanks for sharing.
