Pickle Crazy!!
Dill Pickles, Spicy Dills, Pickled Peppers, Pickled Green Tommy Toes, Pickled Pears, and Pear Preserves were all bubbling in the hot water bath all day. With the help of my lovely assistant and daughter Ebony, I washed, peeled, sliced, spiced, and sweetened jars from 10:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. I have not been this tired since giving birth to one of my children. My feet hurt, my back aches, my arms are on fire.....

I was suspect about the recipe at first because I've only had savory dishes with tomatoes. Then I began the process and the flavors seemed to meld and develop into a smooth citrusy *Bam-Pow* flavor vacation. When this gels and cools I can't wait to pop the top and enjoy this treat with a nice hot roll, scone, or biscuit. The other two jars I'll tuck away for those cold cool days of fall and winter that are creeping in closer day by day.
